Summary

Lower part of Kingston village settlement. This was one of thirteen communal settlements known as village settlements. They were created to ease the economic depression following the major strikes in the 1890's and the bank crash of 1893. Socialist ideas became popular and utopian schemes were appealing to the unemployed and those struggling to make ends meet. The Kingston Settlement proceeded well for the first few years but later the residents wanted their own blocks of land and wanted to work individually. A faulty pump was their undoing and the settlement was incorporated into the Kingston Irrigation Area in 1914.
