Origin of Orange name tied to early NSW explorers
The article traces 1817 to 1846 events shaping Orange NSW, noting Oxley and Blackman near Wellington Valley, Meehan near Orange, Simpson’s road, and Blackman Swamp. It argues Orange’s parish and town name derive from local survey routes and Captain Mitchell ties, countering folk tales of a royal visit.
