History

The locality was named on 3 June 1994. Its name is derived from Laidley Creek, which itself is derived from the naming of Laidleys Plain by Allan Cunningham on 22 June 1829, after James Laidley, the New South Wales Deputy Commissary General.[2]

gollark: So I had to screen-record it and play it back slowly.
gollark: There was a fun issue in potatOS a while ago where it errored at startup, but some other process cleared the screen after initialization so I couldn't read the error.
