History
In the late 1860s, pastoralist John Costello set up camp at a waterhole in the area and carved his initials in a nearby tree. The place afterwards was known as JC Waterhole. By the 1870s it had become the headquarters of the Native Police detachment in the region under Sub-Inspector William Gough. In the early 1880s the JC Hotel was established and in 1884 the settlement was renamed Canterbury.
Canterbury Post Office opened on 1 January 1891 (a receiving office had been open from 1888) and closed in 1920.
