The town was founded near the site of the old village of Cabra, by Mervyn Pratt, towards the end of the 18th century, and was completed by his brother, The Rev.
Поселение было основано рядом со старой деревней Кабра ("Cabra") Мервином Праттом в конце XVIII века, дело которого завершил его брат, преподобный Джозеф Пратт ("Joseph Pratt").
