Heritage Precinct HO87
The Echuca North Precinct area developed in conjunction with the port of Echuca. The earliest settlement in this area occurred when Henry Hopwood established a punt in the 1850s. This was followed by the introduction of steam boats in 1853. The discovery of gold in the early 1850s saw the port and the settlement grow and it became the main crossing point between the Riverina, the Bendigo goldfields and Melbourne. It is of historic and social significance as it provides tangible physical evidence of the development of early Echuca and the port area following the discovery of gold, the opening of the railway and the bridge over the Murray River. It demonstrates the early character of the historic port and the development of the settlement at Echuca. The continued development of the precinct area during the 19th and the early 20th century demonstrates the wealth and vitality of the port during this period.
