History
Rockley was first opened as a township in 1848 after a copper mine was opened 8 km from the town and gold was also uncovered. However it was first granted as farm land to William Lawson in 1818, then granted to Captain Watson Augustus Steel who named the property after his birthplace in Rockley, Wiltshire, England.
