BRUCE'S CREEK RURAL SITE - History
Land was first occupied in this area by the Clyde Company who worked a large pastoral run in 1848. A portion of this run was licensed to James Bruce in 1849 and named Bruce's Creek Run. Bruce built a house on the western side of the creek.Peter Sharp acquired the run in 1851, operating it until the 1890s when the area was sub-divided. The former Somerset Hotel was built along Shelford Rd in 1854, close to the southern end of the creek. Today it is a residence.
