==History==
Bonner is situated on the former paddocks of 'Horse Park, a sheep property established in 1853 by Irish immigrants John and Ann Gillespie.〔Mary Anne Hutchinson married John Gillespie in North Ireland in 1836 and arrived as bounty migrants in Australia in 1841. They worked for William Klensendorlffe at Canberra for two years before taking up residence at Ginninderra.〕 From these humble beginnings, the Gillespies increased their pastoral holdings through the judicious acquisitions of neighbouring properties such 'Elm Grove' (situated in present-day Forde).
Their son James Gillespie was instrumental in establishing the Mulligans Flat Public School. The remnants of the school are located in the nearby Mulligans Flat Reserve. Gillespie was a regularly contributor to the Goulburn Evening Penny Post under the pseudonym “The Wizard”. 'Horse Park' homestead which has been nominated for the ACT Heritage Register is situated a kilometre west in the suburb of Jacka.
