Design for the town of Warwick in the County of Merivale, by Hill, 1849

Queensland State Archives posted a photo:

Patrick Leslie and his brothers originally settled the area and named their pastoral run Canning Downs. In 1847 the New South Wales government asked them to select a site for a township, which was originally to be called Cannington but was eventually named after Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick.
