Cressy gets
its name from the Cressy Company, which was formed in England
to run large agricultural farms and grazing enterprises.
It's
a rural township on the Norfolk Plains, below the Great
Western Tiers, 36 kms from Launceston, and 21 kms off the
Midlands Highway
The Cressy
Hotel had been opened in 1845 and the town came into existence
around 1855 as a centre for the richest wheat growing district
in Tasmania.
Cressy is also
renowned for trout fishing in the nearby Brumby's Creek,
and the Macquarie and Liffey Rivers.
Today many
of the original homesteads and farm buildings exist around
the tiny township and the area is still noted as an important
producer of oats, barley, peas and beans.
Tasmania's
Premier Fly Fishing Guides at Cressy operate guided tours
to Tasmania’s lakes and rivers where you can enjoy
sight fishing for wild brown trout that can take you to
the backing in clear, shallow lagoons and lakes.
At the 2001 census, Cressy had a population of 643.
