Description From Owner:

The Aboriginal people called the place Kespoogwit, 'land's end.' The English name likely derived from the fact there was a sandy ford across a nearby stream. Settlement began in the 1770s.
Jack Pease, one of the early settlers, was related to the Sandford family by marriage.
