Distinguished and Famous people from Corowa - Wahgunyah
🌟 John Foord
John Foord helped shape the paired Murray River settlements of Wahgunyah and Corowa through land development and transport. He laid out Wahgunyah as a private township in 1856 and acquired a punt to provide a river crossing. A wooden toll bridge followed through a company venture in 1863. These connections encouraged trade and movement between the banks, helping the settlement then called North Wahgunyah develop into Corowa. Foord’s legacy is closely tied to a river that needed to be crossed as well as admired.
