History
Bejoording was a gazetted town site in 1836 although no one lived there until 1859. It was a working man's village designed like an English hamlet where all the plots had access to the central common and water supply. The first applicant for land was J. Thomson in 1856. He married Sarah Syred, but didn't live there. SArah's brother William Syred was the first Bejoording settler followed by other members of the Syred family, including his brother Charles, who bought two lots in 1858. Charles did not build on those lots but two generations later his namesake Charles Syred settled here.
This place is associated with the establishment of the Bejoording townsite. The homestead is believed to have been constructed c.1900, and it was noted at about this time that the homestead was a 'fine six-roomed dwelling and the various outbuildings are all built and arranged in a methodical manner'. (Twentieth Century Impressions, p. 707)
