Cook
Cook County was one of New South Wales’ original Nineteen Counties and is now one of the state’s 141 Cadastral divisions.
It encompasses the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, between the Colo River in the north and the Coxs River in the south and west, and includes Lithgow, Mount Victoria, Katoomba, Wentworth Falls, Lawson, and the majority of the other towns in the Blue Mountains.
The Nepean River forms the eastern boundary.
Prior to 1834, the area was part of the counties of Westmoreland, Northumberland, and Roxburgh.
Cook County was named after the explorer and navigator James Cook (1728-1779).
Between 1856 and 1859, the Cook and Westmoreland Electoral District was the area’s first state electoral district.
