== Establishment ==
On 1 March 1846, a Benedictine mission to the local native Aboriginals was started about to the north, led by the two Spanish Benedictines, Rosendo Salvado and Joseph Serra.
Within a year the mission was moved to where the town is today, and on 1 March 1847 the foundation stone of the monastery was laid.
The place was named New Norcia, after Norcia in Italy, the birthplace of St Benedict. Unlike the Italian Norcia, which is pronounced "nor-chee-a", New Norcia is pronounced "new nor-sia".
