The area was purchased in 1862 by John Morton, Samuel Brighouse, and William Hailstone, three men known as the "Three Greenhorn Englishmen," or just the "Three Greenhorns," owing to the belief that the naive men paid too much for the remote land.
Túto oblasť kúpili v roku 1862 John Morton, Samuel Brighouse a William Hailstone, traja muži známi ako „traja anglickí greenhorni“, či „traja nováčikovia“, vzhľadom na všeobecné presvedčenie, že zaplatili príliš veľa za nedostupné pozemky.
