Free settlement was introduced in 1842. The first allotments in New Farm were sold in 1844. In 1847 Mr Richard Jones, who later became the first Brisbane Member in the New South Wales Parliament, purchased 93 acres of land by the Brisbane River. This parcel included parts of the ‘new farm’ worked by the convicts. He built a house, which he called ‘New Farm’. Another early settler was Mr Henry Mathews [sic] who acquired a block of 5 acres with frontage to Merthyr Road, Bowen Terrace and Brunswick Street on which he established a plant nursery. New Farm continued to develop as an agricultural district within close proximity to the township.
