Cowley
Cowley County is one of New South Wales’ 141 Cadastral divisions.
It includes the town of Cavan.
The Murrumbidgee River ran through it on the north, east, and part of the south, and the Goodradigbee River ran through it on the west.
In 1909, a large portion of the county was transferred to the Commonwealth to form the Australian Capital Territory, with the remaining portion encompassing the area to the north-west of the ACT as far north as the Burrinjuck Dam, as well as thin strips of land along the ACT’s western, southern, and south-eastern borders.
Cowley County was named after Henry Richard Charles Wellesley, 1st Earl Cowley (1804-1884).
