The first permanent settlers came in 1853 and established the present town site.

The settlers soon established the church on the south side of a central plaza.

Around 1860, settlers returned to stay and established a farming community.

The first settlers arrived in 1815 and established small fisheries.

Naturally, the first settlers established themselves close to the creek, one house next to the other.

Settlers established commercial fisheries on the north coast of the lake around the 1850s.

European settlers established few farms in the area, both before and after independence.

The settlers cleared the land and established their own farms on it.

From that moment, settlers established in the surroundings creating a new village.

The settlers quickly settled upon the land and by 1884 had established a butter factory.
