City’s published history book

Settlement to City chronicles the growth of the district of Armadale from its founding as a tiny military outpost at Kelmscott in 1830 to the thriving City that it is today. The City, in commissioning this work, wanted to hear the story ‘warts and all”. The result is a 446 page book in 22 chapters that is both a well indexed tool for future researchers, as well as an extremely readable and sometimes amusing history book. It is complimented with quotes from oral histories, lots of photographs from days gone by, and images of important documents.
