A big Russells Bridge dairy farm was owned by the Caprons, and although this was never registered with the Shire, it is suspected that the unnamed road was known as Capron Lane in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Cr Les Rowe has been researching the location\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe late William Capron came to the area in the late-1840s. He leased a property in the Moorabool Valley with his brother, Henry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the following years, they converted the property from leasehold to freehold, and bought further property on the river. They ran a mixed farming operation, and later generations milked cows off the fertile river flats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ownership of the property at Russells Bridge, where they finished up, is still held by descendants of the Capron family today. William Capron was a neighbour of my great, great grandparents, a noted breeder of Clydesdales, and in this activity, he was particularly successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a name, the road will be added to the municipality\u2019s grading and maintenance register, and assist emergency and postal services needing to easily locate properties in the immediate area.<\/p>\n<p>Public feedback will be received until Friday, 23 April at 5pm.
