History

Gilead was a land named in the Bible and famed for its fields of wheat. It obviously seemed like an ideal name for a wheat farm when Reuban Uther was granted 400 acres in 1812 but Uther only persisted with his dream for six years before selling to Thomas Rose who renamed it Mount Gilead. Rose farmed the area successfully for over sixty years. In 1941, the land was bought by the Macarthur-Onslow family, owners of nearby Camden Park Estate, who still own it today. While there has been talk of suburban development, Gilead remains farmland just beyond the edge of suburbia.
