flourished from a gold rush and was known as Ovens Crossing Place
from 1838 until 1859. The first settler, George Faithfull, named
his home from the aboriginal words 'wanga', a cormorant and 'ratta',
to sit or nest. The careers of notorious bushrangers Dan 'Mad
Dog' Morgan and Ned Kelly both ended respectively in the Wangaratta
area, and nearby Glen Rowan.
