== History at El Dorado before the KellyGang ==
<blockquote>First selected in [[1824-1853 Events|1839]] by Captain William Fury '''[[Properties|Baker]]''' , an overlander from New South Wales. His first run was called [[Barrambogie|Barambogie]]. It was sub divided and Eldorado was the western part. Eldorado was divided into 2 blocks, east and west in about 1849
'''Eldorado East''' was east of the '''Black Dog Creek''' and covered the site of [[Chiltern|Chiltern]]. The run was purchased from Baker by Dr Gemmell of Wangaratta who seems to have purchased it on behalf of Dalgety and Co. They appointed Thomas Noyes as manager. The run was sold to Dr Grainger Muir Brough in 1868 and he sold it to William Sloane and Co in 1871. They in turn sold it to Charles Hutton in 1875. In [[events79-2_4Jerilderie Robbery|1879]] the run was owned by Charles and Thomas Hutton.
'''Eldorado West''' was bought by Jason Withers of [[Ullina|Ulina]] before 1854.
In [[1854-1863 Events|1857]] Joseph Francis '''Garlick''' owned the lease, (see also ) but it was back in Withers' hands by 1862. Large areas of the run disappeared in selections and gold leads during this period. In 1868 the lease was held by William Telford and Charles D Fisher.
By 1871 John Gidley had purchased the lease which he sold to Charles Hutton the owner of Eldorado East
In 1876 the license to El Dorado East and West was held by Charles Hutton, ? acres, license fee half year £112/10
