Durham
Durham County was one of New South Wales’ original Nineteen Counties and is now one of the state’s 141 Cadastral divisions.
The Hunter River runs through it on the south and west, and the Williams River runs through it on the north and east.
Aberdeen and Muswellbrook are included.
Prior to 1834, Durham County encompassed what became Gloucester and the majority of Brisbane counties, as far west as the Liverpool Range and east to the Pacific, including Port Stephens, as shown on an 1832 map.
Durham County was named after John George Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham (1792-1840).
