Inverell Information

The town of Inverell had its beginnings when Colin and Rosana Ross arrived in August 1833, to start a store for the settlers who had moved into the district. Ross Hill is named after the family.

The man who was to give Inverell its name and lay the foundations for today's modern community was Alexander Campbell, a scottich immigrant, Campbell was employed by Peter MacIntyre in the Hunter Valley. In March 1835, Campbell set out on what proved to be a long and hazardous journey to explore the new country known as the New England. Campbell established a property for his employer- Byron Station and established the Inverell Station for himself. The station can still be seen today on the Ashfor Road, north of Inverell.

Situated on the western edge of the New England Tablelands, Inverell is nestled in the picturesque valley beside the Macintyre River.
