Crookwell, Administrative center in Southern Tablelands, Australia.

Located at 887 meters elevation, Crookwell stretches across green hills and features tree-lined streets near the convergence of Crookwell River and Kiamma Creek.

The settlement, established in the 1820s under the name Kiama, developed around crossroads where inns appeared by 1840, leading to municipal growth.

The Crookwell Gazette newspaper, publishing since 1885, maintains strong connections among the 2,686 residents through local news and community information.

The town connects to Goulburn through main roads and sits three hours from Sydney, offering services for the surrounding agricultural and pastoral activities.

The area produced 508,500 tons of iron ore between 1941 and 1945, contributing significantly to wartime steel manufacturing in Australia.
