They were named by Lachlan Macquarie, the Governor of New South Wales from 1810 to 1821, as a tribute to John Jamison. Jamison was a Royal Navy physician who served on the famous HMS Agamemnon under the command of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson. After arriving in New South Wales in 1814, Jamison became a significant land owner and the country’s first titled free settler.
