| 説明 | Cherry Gardens.This locality was named around 1838 by three local settlers (Isaac Jacobs, Henry Field and Edward Burgess) cutting Kangaroo Grass for their cattle on their properties back at Happy Valley. They saw dozens of native cherry trees (Exocarpos cupressiformis) growing here hence the name. White settlers moved into the area in 1840 a few years before the Hundred of Noarlunga was declared and land surveyed in 1846. The settlers got title to their land after 1846 when most purchased the land and moved into the district. The Wesleyan Methodist Church was erected in local stone in 1849 and is the oldest Methodist Church in SA still used for its original purpose. 120 people attended the opening in March 1849 and the church was designed to accommodate 150 people. The small cemetery surrounding it mainly has burials from the Broadbent, Donnell, Jacobs and Middleton families. The cemetery officially closed in 1882 but a pioneer of the Church Isaac Jacobs was the last burial there in 1894. By 1882 a new general Cherry Gardens cemetery had been created elsewhere in the district. The first trustees included Isaac Jacobs and Henry Field. The first minister was Reverend Nathaniel Bennett. The church is now a Uniting Church. The church is surrounded by a small cemetery of local settlers. The lych-gate is a recent addition being built in 2009. A pug and pine thatched school opened at Cherry Gardens in 1859 but was later demolished. The state government erected a school at Cherry Gardens in 1886. The school operated until 1970. The settlement has a Country Fire Service Station built in 1984, a Soldiers Memorial Park (1923) and a Memorial Hall which was opened in 1956. |
