Everything about Pearson Victoria totally explained
Pearson was a town in
Victoria,
Australia, located south of
Walhalla. It was also known as The Happy, and Happy Go Lucky.
The town began with the discovery of the Happy Go Lucky gold reef in
1863 by William McGregor. He informed his friend William Cummin, who investigated the area and reported that there was no sign of gold. Cummin went immediately to
Seaton to register a prospecting claim on the site, knowing that gold was indeed present. McGregor was offered 1/8 of the takings as a compromise.
By
1864 a booming village had developed, including 3 hotels, bakers, butchers, and restaurants. The town was surveyed in
1865 and named Pearson, although it was popularly known as The Happy. At its peak, it had a population of around 300, including a small community of Chinese prospectors.
By the
1870s mining activity had slowed, and Pearson became a satellite town of
Walhalla. The Union Hotel and the general store remained until
1912. Today, only ruins exist.
