Raleigh County is a special area in New South Wales, Australia. It's one of 141 "cadastral divisions" in the state. Think of a cadastral division as a way to officially divide land for things like property records and maps. This county includes the town of Nambucca Heads and is located just south of the Bellinger River. We don't actually know how Raleigh County got its name!
