Settlement history

Settlement of the area dates from 1817, following the arrival of timber-cutters. Some growth took place in the late 1800s. The most significant development occurred in the post-war years. The population increased slightly during the 1990s, and then was relatively stable between 2001 and 2006, a result of little change in dwelling stock.
