The region presently referred to as Camden originally belonged to an indigenous group of people known as the Gandangara people. However, the arrival of European explorers led to conflicts which saw the death of many of the community’s members. Years later, part of the land was given to John Macarthur (the man after whom the region is named). Macarthur established several industries that saw the development of the area and a subsequent increase in population.
