Yanda County is a special area in New South Wales, Australia. It's one of 141 "counties" that help organize the land. Think of it like a big, old-fashioned map division! The Darling River forms its north-western border, which is a very important river in Australia.
What is Yanda County?
Yanda County is a type of land division called a cadastral division. These divisions were created a long time ago. They help people keep track of land ownership and boundaries. It's like how your town might be divided into different neighborhoods or zones.
The Name Yanda
The name Yanda is believed to come from a local Aboriginal word. These are the first people who lived in Australia for thousands of years. Many places in Australia have names that come from Aboriginal languages. This helps us remember the rich history of the land.
Exploring the Parishes
