History

Cecil Park was originally home to the Cabrogal people who occupied much of the greater Fairfield area. When European exploration of the area began in the early 19th century, a nearby range was named Cecil Hills and this in turn inspired the name Cecil Park. The first white settler in Cecil Park was Simeon Lord.[2]

Cecil Park Post Office opened on 16 July 1897 and closed in 1966.[3]

gollark: It *might* be.
gollark: Row ID? I forget.
gollark: The number the uninstaller prints?
gollark: The incident report system does actually work, by the way. All incidents are logged in SPUDNET. The only ones I know of are the test ones I triggered to test the system and various incident triggers. Incidents are reported when:- one known sandbox escape is detected- banned programs (Webicity) are executed- potatOS is uninstalled- invalid disk signing key
gollark: You can't make a program to fully autonomously uninstall potatOS from within it - ignoring sandbox escapes - because while sandboxed processes can use queueEvent to fake keypresses they cannot read the output of the uninstaller. The best they can do is, I don't know, guess what the random seed was when it was generating two primes, figure out what the primes were, and queue the key/char events accordingly.
