William Macarthur was born at Parramatta in December 1800, the fifth son of John and Elizabeth Macarthur, pioneers of the Australian wool industry. He was educated in England at Rugby School, returned to Australia with his father in 1817, and assisted in the management of his estates. These estates included land controlled by the Macarthurs south along the Murrumbidgee River from Gundagai. Brothers James〔J. D. Heydon, ('Macarthur, James (1798 - 1867)' ), Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 2, Melbourne University Press, 1967, pp 149-153.〕 and William Macarthur stocked 'Nangus Station' with cattle in 1831.〔Butcher, C. 2002 ''Gundagai: A Track Winding Back'', Cliff Butcher, self-published, p.11.〕 The island in the middle of the River at Nangus is marked as one of the early goldfields and named "M'Arthur Island". The island is where the highly auriferous Adelong Creek enters the Murrumbidgee River.〔Victoria () Bartholomew, John, 1805-1860. 1853 Victoria Historical MAPS MX 820 a 1853 Available () http://db.lib.unimelb.edu.au/mrsid-cgi/map_view.cgi〕 William pursued a slight career in colonial politics, though this was secondary to his interests in botany. William lived at Camden Park, south west of Sydney, with his brother James〔 who was prominent in local and colonial politics.
