A History of Orange
Situated on Blackman’s Swamp Creek, Orange was proclaimed a village in 1846. Major Thomas Mitchell named the village in honour of Prince William of Orange whom he met in the Napoleonic Wars. (Prince William later became the King of Holland).
In 1851 the first payable gold in Australia was found at Ophir. In the same year gold was found at Lucknow (both villages near Orange). These rich mines were worked for many years on and brought great wealth to the area. The city has continued to grow from its rich mining past.
It was also the rich fertile land that enabled Orange to further develop as a town. Due to a reliable rainfall, wheat and barley grow extremely well in this region. By the 1860s the Orange area was well established as the granary of the west with several flour mills flourishing.
Orange is also the birthplace of the famous poet Banjo Patterson, who was born in John Templer’s home on 17 February 1864. A monument is now located at this site, which is now Banjo Patterson Park, on the Ophir Road.
Throughout the region you can explore the wonderful history of the area by visiting historic villages, viewing magnificent homesteads, touring museums and historic buildings, as well as fossicking in old gold mines.
The region has many public gardens, parks, picnic and leisure areas with exotic varieties of trees and shrubs, which provide an ever changing seasonal show of colour.
Orange is truly a beautiful city that captivates all who visit, and it is sure to impress.
