Lapstone, NSW
The name Lapstone Hill was first given to the slope of the eastern escarpment in 1832 because of the number of water worn stones that resembled the stones cobblers held between their knees to beat the leather against. In 1964 the railway station was built by Lapstone Estate LTD and therefore became known as Lapstone. The railway platform was originally known as Lucasville Platform and was built in 1878 to serve Mr John Lucas, Minister for Mines.
