Gordon County is a special way that land is divided in New South Wales, Australia. Think of it like an old-fashioned map grid used to keep track of land ownership and boundaries. The beautiful Macquarie River forms the north-eastern edge of this county.

Gordon County was named after an important historical figure. He was George Hamilton Gordon, 4th Earl of Aberdeen, who lived from 1784 to 1860. He was a British Prime Minister many years ago, from 1852 to 1855.
