They followed the river to its junction with the Macquarie. Oxley was effusive about the valley, describing it as “beautifully picturesque” and “studded with fine trees upon a soil which may be equalled, but can never be excelled”.

Simpson and a party of soldiers and <a href="/wiki/Convicts_in_Australia" title="Convicts in Australia">convicts</a> arrived at the locality via Bathurst in February with 12 cows and 40 sheep, as well as a provision of wheat. Simpson chose a site for the settlement on high ground above the Bell River (about three kilometres south of the modern cityship). There were early problems, including desertions and stock theft by convicts, but fields of wheat and other staples were eventually established. A muster roll in 1826 recorded 85 men at Wellington. By that stage a number of pastoral runs had been established in the vicinity of the settlement and along the Macquarie River. The convict outpost at Wellington was discontinued in 1831 and "the settlement was used for a time as a Government stock station".<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-WellingtonSMH_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-WellingtonSMH-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A traveller to the area in 1832 described the settlement as “abandoned” except for “a dozen stockmen and soldiers who remained to protect the buildings from the mischievous spoilation of the natives”.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Missionary_settlement">Missionary settlement</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wellington,_New_South_Wales&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Missionary settlement"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Blacks_Camp" title="Blacks Camp">Blacks Camp</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wellington_Convict_and_Mission_Site" title="Wellington Convict and Mission Site">Wellington Convict and Mission Site</a></div> <p>In December 1831 the Secretary of State for the Colonies informed Governor Bourke that an agreement had been entered into with the <a href="/wiki/Church_Mission_Society" title="Church Mission Society">Church Missionary Society</a> in England “by which the organisation had undertaken to send out and superintend a mission to the natives”. Permission was sought to “establish the Mission at Wellington Valley”, to which the Governor agreed, authorising them to “occupy the Government buildings there and to use for grazing any land they desired to occupy for that purpose”. The missionaries sent to Wellington in 1832 were Rev. William Watson and Rev. James Handt, a Lutheran clergyman. </p><p>In 1835 Messrs. Backhouse and Walter, both Quakers, visited the Mission. Backhouse reported that ”the blacks at the station were not numerous”, with “about 30” being the usual number living there. The Aborigines were said to be “very capricious” and “by no means desirous to learn”. They were “attracted” to the food supplied by the Mission and “they were not disposed to work”. A mission report in 1836 stated that “the vocabulary of the native language had been revised and enlarged” and that “services were held in the language”. </p><p>Rev. Handt left Wellington in 1836 “as his wife was ill”. Rev. James Gunther and his wife arrived in August 1837, replacing Handt and his wife.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:WellingtonCourtHouse.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/WellingtonCourtHouse.JPG/300px-WellingtonCourtHouse.JPG" decoding="async" width="300" height="201" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/WellingtonCourtHouse.JPG/450px-WellingtonCourtHouse.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/WellingtonCourtHouse.JPG/600px-WellingtonCourtHouse.JPG 2x" data-file-width="3872" data-file-height="2592" /></a><figcaption>Wellington Courthouse.</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Wellington_cityship">Wellington cityship</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wellington,_New_South_Wales&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Wellington cityship"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1840, a village called Montefiores was established on the north side of the <a href="/wiki/Macquarie_River_(New_South_Wales)" class="mw-redirect" title="Macquarie River (New South Wales)">Macquarie River</a> crossing.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-WellingtonSMH_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-WellingtonSMH-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The city of Wellington, on the south bank of the Macquarie River opposite Montefiores, was gazetted in 1846, and on 20 March 1885, Wellington was proclaimed a city.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-GNBwellington_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GNBwellington-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The first local government body covering Wellington was the Wellington Municipal District, proclaimed in 1879.
