[edit] History
Daceyville was named after John Rowland Dacey (1854-1912)[1], a state parliamentarian for the area from 1895 to 1912, who urged the creation of a garden suburb modelled on the garden suburb of Letchworth in London, England. The plan was executed after his death with a plan to provide low-cost housing for working-class people in Australia's first garden city. Sir John Sullman (1849-1934) planned the estate on crown land provided that had been reserved as a water conservaton site.
