DUNDAS SPORTS & RECREATIONAL CLUB

Records of the Club's history go all the way back to 1792, when a land grant of 50 acres was made to William Wade. It was on this land that the club was later built, after being sold in 1801 to William Cox - the largest landowner at the time in the fledgling colony. Funnily both died in the same year of 1837… though the farm property remained in tact and was in small degree portioned off over the following century... Robert Towns bought 12 acres of Wades original farm in 1877 and he is believed to be the builder of the Victorian building now the central focus of the club. It is recorded to have cost 180 pounds… (about $360.00)
