Wellesley County is one of the 141 special areas called cadastral divisions in New South Wales, Australia. Think of it like a really old way of dividing up land for maps and records! It's located right on the border with Victoria. A big river called the Snowy River forms part of its northern edge. The important town of Bombala is also found within Wellesley County.
Who was Wellesley County named after?
Wellesley County got its name from a very important person named Richard Colley Wellesley. He was also known as the Marquis Wellesley and lived from 1760 to 1842. He served as the Governor-General of India, which was a super important job back then, like being in charge of a whole country!
