There have been changes all through the history of the Ferguson area of the Shire of Dardanup - from the first European settlement in the early 1840s when there were not many people at all in Western Australia. Then, at the start of the 1900s, when the area's population was large, with Wellington Mill creating employment opportunities for many people.
After timber milling slowed, the population drifted off, and in the period from the 1950s to the 1980s, the area was quite remote and hardly heard about. Now, the area is very popular and offers an idyllic lifestyle away from towns. (Introduction)
