 Chiilagoe Station
Chillagoe pastoral run was taken up in 1887 by William Atherton, a son of John Atherton. Traces of copper were discovered in the area soon after and a small mining settlement was established on Chillagoe Creek, but it was not until the late 1890s that mining entrepreneurs John Moffat and J.S. Reid secured the necessary capital backing to develop the copper lodes.
