History

The European community settled in the original townsite of Cumberland with the British immigrants. The most populous group were the Italians. They originally lived separately in their own community at the bottom of Camp Road in 1888, known as ‘Little Italy’. However, as time went by they quickly integrated into the wider British and European community.
