Summary

[edit]
Description

Parkes was a goldmining settlement originally named Bushman's, but following visits from New South Wales Colonial Secretary (also referred to as Prime Minister) Sir Henry Parkes on two occasions in 1873 and finally in 1893, the townspeople nominated to change the name of the town in honour of the great statesman.

The anecdotal story goes that it was actually a political move from the locals who were also lobbying the then NSW Prime Minister Henry Parkes to construct the east-west rail line through Parkes, so to help sway his opinion... they named their town after him!
