History

Thomas Peel arrived in Mandurah in 1830. He was an influential figure promoting his own settlement scheme for the Swan River Colony, but ultimately was allocated land in the Peel region. He controlled much of the land in the Murray District. He was financed by Solomon Levey and brought out a number of skilled workmen to the colony. Peel and his son Thomas Junior leased and created farmland between Mandurah and Serpentine. He was a controversial figure who had many critics but his strong and independent personality dominated the Mandurah region in its first 35 years. He died on 21 December
1865.
