Jamestown. John Bristow Hughes took out the first pastoral lease in this area in 1841. The country is high, with good and reliable rainfall and ideal for pastoralism. He named his property Bundaleer. This was later held by Charles B Fisher. The other early pastoral run near the township was Old Canowie established by Daniel Cudmore. The hundred was surveyed in 1870-71 and the land opened up to small farmers. The town itself was surveyed in 1871 and named after the Governor of South Australia, Sir James Fergusson. The Scottish influence is still present in Jamestown with many Scottish street names. The Main Street is called Ayr Street and is especially wide for a country town. The District Council was formed a few years later in 1875. Within a few years the town was well established and was one of the largest towns in the mid north in the 1882 census after Port Augusta and Port Pirie. In 1882 the town had almost 1,000 people. Jamestown is situated on the banks of Belalie Creek. The first shop or business in Jamestown was a saddlery which opened in 1872. The butcher’s shop in Jamestown is meant to be the oldest butcher shops in South Australia. Dr Cockburn’s House built in 1876 still stands in the extension of the Main Street. Other old buildings in the Main Street area include the Lutheran Church, built in 1876 for the Presbyterians; St James Catholic Church, built in 1929, the Memorial Hall built as the Institute in 1876 and the Uniting Church built as a Wesleyan church in 1878. The town was linked quite early (1878) with Port Pirie by rail and later to Peterborough in January 1881. The station building was built in 1885 and is now a museum. A new railway station was built when the rail line was standardised to Broken Hill in 1969. The largest employer of labour in Jamestown's history was Humphris' Emu Butter Factory, which employed over forty people around 1900. Earlier Humphris had purchased the first aerated waters factory in Jamestown in 1878. The firm had 750 suppliers of cream in 1908 and by 1912 it had increased to over 1000.The factory was underground and the more important work, such as churning, was done in the basement even in the hottest weather. 'Emu’ butter was sold in Broken Hill, Adelaide and Great Britain. In 1899 the firm opened a factory in Adelaide in Carrington Street and most of the manufacturing of the sauces and pickles was transferred to this factory from Jamestown. The depression of the 1930s took its toll and in 1932 the Emu Factory closed its doors at Jamestown. Aerated waters were still manufactured in the factory until 1965. The factory was demolished in 1975 to make way for the Homes for the Aged. |
