Early 1800s Singleton district and its inns
In the 1820s and 1830s the Darlington post office fed Singleton traffic and travelers used venues like the Plough and Horses Inn and later the Queen Victoria at Glennie's Creek. Alexander Munro built and renamed inns, later creating the Caledonian Hotel, and founded the Bebeah Vineyard. He became Singleton’s first mayor, serving 1866 to 1869, while supporting the Singleton and Patrick's Plains Benevolent Society formed in 1842.
