Distinguished and Famous people from Raymond Terrace
🍇 James King
James King established Irrawang on the Williams River near Raymond Terrace after arriving from Scotland in 1827. Alongside farming, he developed pottery manufacture and a vineyard planted with European varieties. Wine became his principal interest: careful selection, cellar work and the skills of German vine dressers helped improve its quality. His wines won colonial awards and attracted attention at the Paris Exhibition in 1855, with some served at Napoleon III’s table. He also became the Hunter River Vineyard Association’s first president. The local enterprise combined clay and grapes, making Irrawang a place of manufacturing experiments as well as agricultural ambition.
