James Pye
James Pye (1801 – 30 December 1884) was an Australian orchardist and politician. He was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for one term between 1856 and 1858.
==Early life==
Pye was the son of a pioneer Australian orchardist. After an elementary education he joined his father's business and eventually had large orchards in the Field of Mars and Seven Hills district. He founded the Cumberland Agricultural Society in 1857 and was active in the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales. Pye was the patron of numerous organisations in the Parramatta region including the National School Board. He was an alderman on Parramatta Municipality between 1861 and 1884 and Mayor in 1866-7.
In the 1850s, Pye offered the land surrounding Hunts Creek at nominal cost to the Government to enable the construction of dam and reservoir, known as Lake Parramatta, that operated as a permanent water supply to the City of Parramatta between 1856 and 1909.
