History<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>In 1829 Ensign Robert Dale was the first European ever to enter this area. He encountered Aboriginal people along the way, members, we now know, of the Beeloo people whose leader at that time was a young man, Munday.<\/p>
In 1886, large amounts of land were leased by John Henry King and his wife Hester who came with their four younger children to live in the timber slab house they built. They developed 10 acres of the best land near a creek and called it Garden Hill, planting fruit trees and vegetables.\u00a0 J.H.King is also listed as a saw-miller and grazed cattle on an additional 4000 acre lease. Although there were limited roads, John Henry King managed to be active in the community as a member of the Darling Range Vine and Fruit Growers Association and the Darling Range Roads Board.<\/p>
In the years 1900 to 1913, there were five saw-mills documented in this area, belonging to Port, Honey and Co. (near The Dell), H.W. Oma, W.Wright ( in Fern Road, making Jarrah packing cases), Fred Elson and J. Patterson (in the Farrell Grove area).<\/p>
By 1929, the Kings had left the Paull\u2019s Valley area and sold Garden Hill to Albert (Bert) Paull who renovated the old cottage prior to hiring August Johnson to build a new home of asbestos and timber. Paull specialised in growing magnificent rhubarb ideal for the area with its fine clay soils, plentiful water from the creek and supplemented by lots of horse manure from wherever he could acquire it. Paull also bought 10 acres from Fred Elson and also gained another 15 acres linking the two properties. Paull, a widower with four young daughters, lived on his property with a housekeeper (Miss Elliott) and a workman (Peter Andersen). Later Bert Paull specialised in growing daffodils and gladioli, selling and breeding them to supply bulbs to many people.<\/p>
An Aboriginal family (Ted Nannup, his wife and two children) lived nearby. Ted worked as a timber-cutter. In 1933, when a devastating bushfire headed towards the Paull home, it was Ted Nannup\u2019s quick actions that saved the home.<\/p>
In 1947, one of Bert Paull\u2019s daughters, married to Bert Doubikin, purchased the Garden Hill from Bert who stayed on with them in his own accommodation, enjoying his garden and his grandchildren.<\/p>
It was not until 1973 that the area was officially gazetted with the name Paulls Valley.<\/p>
