Faulconbridge is justifiably famous as the home of Norman Lindsay and the burial site of the 'Father of Federation', Sir Henry Parkes.
The area around Faulconbridge was first explored by Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson in May 1813 while they were camped at Springwood and looking for the ridge which would take them over the mountains. It was settled in the 1870s after the railway line had opened up the whole of the mountains.
For logophiles it may be worth observing that Faulconbridge uses half of the alphabet, including all five vowels, and does not use any individual letter twice.
