In 1853, Charles and William Archer were the first Europeans to discover the Fitzroy River, which they named in honour of Sir Charles FitzRoy, Governor of the Colony of New South Wales.
Among those to take up leases were the Durack and the Emanuel families who together calimed over one million acres along the Fitzroy River in the West Kimberley and a similar amount along the Ord River in the East Kimberley.
