Charnwood was first settled by Henry and Mary Hall only seven years after the first explorers moved through the area, and forty-five years after the arrival of the first fleet. After a complex land dispute with his cousin at Lake Bathurst, Henry was granted the land in compensation in the Parish of Ginninderra, County of Murray. He named it 'Charnwood' after the forest of Charnwood in Leicestershire, England, location of the Hall family residence. To imagine the property today it ranged from two kilometres north of Wallaroo Road, south almost to Kippax, west to the Hall's Creek/Gooromon Pond junction, and east to Mt Rogers.
