The historical origin of cherry in Yangshi

In 1847, cherry trees were planted in Mr. Edward Taylor's orchard in Yang City. In 1878, the first commercial cherry orchard was planted in Yang City by Croatian immigrant Nicholas jasprica. The original plants of Taylor's Kentucky variety jasprika were used for grafting experiment to produce suitable varieties. at first, he went to Lanping lowland to look for gold, but six months later, he began to plant gardens and then orchards. By 1893, he had 100 acres (40 hectares) of cherry orchards, a total of 7000 adult trees and 300 saplings, and 60 acres (24 hectares) of vineyards. Yang is also recognized as the first town in New South Wales to establish a rural school bus system. Unfortunately, on May 8, 1901, jesperka was shot dead three miles from the window of the house called McHenry's Creek. A man was acquitted at the Yang City Circuit Court on September 30. Subsequently, the government offered a reward of 100 pounds, and the family of jesperika increased the reward to 300 pounds to search for clues and evidence to solve the case, but the case has not been solved so far. jasprika was buried in a Catholic Cemetery in young city. At the time of his death, his estate was worth 9500 pounds; his son took over what was considered Australia's largest Cherry Orchard in 1907. Many of his descendants and people surnamed "jasprika" still live in the Yang City area. Since 1826, Yang City has experienced a long process of development and has been growing. It is considered one of the fastest growing towns in New South Wales.

History and culture

Young was formerly known as lambing flat. In 1831, James White was the first to immigrate here and settled down 15 kilometers north of the city center according to the advice of the aborigines at that time. At that time, the shelter for ewes to produce lambs was called "labming flat". In 1860, gold was first discovered here. Thousands of miners came here to mine, and the town developed. the discovery of gold started the gold rush here. In 1860, many Chinese came here for gold. Due to the high efficiency of the Chinese people's united and cooperative gold mining method, the European miners were dissatisfied. In early 1861 and June, there were civil riots against Chinese miners, namely "lambing flattriots". The riots prompted the Australian government to introduce the "White Australia policy", which was abolished in 1974. In order to lighten the sad color of this unfortunate history, the name of the then government official, young, was adopted instead of lambingflat. The museum in Yang city is located in the school building built in 1883. It preserves the items left by Chinese during the gold rush and the "rollup" flag made by European miners during the riot. It tells the world about the civil riot against Chinese miners in 1861. In view of the contribution of the Chinese people to Yang City at that time, a small Chinese garden was built next to the dam built by the original Chinese people. the geological origin of the hilltops area is quite long. The fertile soil formed millions of years ago has nourished human beings for thousands of years. In the 1820s, Europeans arrived in what is now known as "brova boorowa.". Around 1830, people settled in the western part of the country. Since 1860, the scale of towns and villages has been developing. before the European settlement, indigenous people had begun to grow beans, seeds and yams, and used fire for farming, and some techniques for livestock management. Use the flying stick to imitate bird prey: throw it over the duck, and the flying stick flies over the duck to drive the duck back to the nest. In grassy areas, small pieces of grass are burned, and kangaroos and kangaroos are attracted to new places. The first contact between Australian Aborigines and European colonists was peaceful. In 1826, the colonial government of New South Wales declared "restricted area", within which the colonists were not protected by the colonial government.
