History[]

Cornwall was gazetted as a locality in 1973.[2]

It was named by Governor King in 1804, presumably because, like Cornwall in Britain, it was a major coal mining area.[3]

Geography[]

Cornwall is totally surrounded by the locality of St Marys.[4]

Road infrastructure[]

Route A4 (Esk Main Road) passes to the south of the locality, from where Cornwall Road provides access.[2][5]
