Thomas Buckland settled in the district in 1845.
Buckland was part of the Ovens gold field when gold was found there in 1853. Within a short time the town was full of life. [[Hare|Hare]] was a gold escort officer in the 1850s from Buckland to Beechworth. ([[The Last of the Bushrangers Chapter 2 page 1|FH]])
But it suffered a number of disasters.
Within twelve months of its settlement the town had a population of 6000.
Typhoid spread through the diggings and about 1000 people died in a short time.
The Buckland diggings had a large Chinese population (about 3000 in 1857). ([[The Argus at KellyGang 22/8/1860|Argus22/8/60]])
There was a very serious [[!!FIXME \documents\Sadlier\Sadlier_IX_002.html|!!MISSING]] agains the Chinese in that year and many had to flee from the area before police from Beechworth could restore order.
