Tamworth, on the Peel River, is situated on a spur of the Great Dividing Range and backed by the Wentworth Mounds.
Kamilaroi people, one of the four largest indigenous nations in Australia, inhabited this area for thousands of years, before the arrival of early explorers including John Oxley (1818) and the Australian Agricultural Company’s Peel Estate (1834).
While both sides of the Peel River developed, one known as the ‘Company side’ and the other known as the ‘Government side’, the proclamation of Tamworth as a Municipality did not occur until 1876, when the first Council was formed and P G King was elected First Mayor .
