Angaston - Cities, Towns and Localities |
|
Originally known as German Pass, then named Angas Town after George Fife
Angas, the town was registered in August, 1857 by George Fife Angas as Angaston.
Heavily investing in what was then a young colony, George Angas sponsored
British and German migrants to settle in the region, by leasing and selling
land to them. Whilst many of the German migrants were Lutherans, when the first
church was completed in 1844, with money donated by Angas, it was to be used by
all different religions. Today the Union Chapel is one of the
oldest churches in South Australia.
