Description:
Fine colonial engraving of The Nut, Stanley, Tasmania.
In 1825 the Van Diemen’s Land Company was granted land in north-western Van Diemen’s Land, including the Stanley area. The site was originally called Circular Head, named after Lord Stanley, the British Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in the 1830s and 1840s. A port opened in 1827 and the first school opened in 1841. Stanley officially became a town in 1842 and by 1843 more than 8,000 acres had been sold or leased to almost 70 people. The Post Office opened on 1 July 1845 and was known as Circular Head post office until 1882.
