Back in 1815, The Red Cow Inn was established at Ropes Creek. It was one of the early coaching inns and was well patronized by the passing wagon drivers, coaches & riders on the Western Road, as they travelled to and from the Nepean area. By the 1840’s, Thomas Smith was the licensee and so remained for over fifty years. He was an astute businessman and with rumours of the proposed railway station to be built at Penrith, Tom Smith purchased a parcel of land in 1860. The gamble paid off.
