Ivanhoe, Administrative division in Central Darling Shire Council, Australia.
Ivanhoe functions as a small settlement located between the Lachlan and Darling rivers in western New South Wales, featuring a notably expansive main street.
The settlement emerged in the 1870s at the intersection of two roads leading to Wilcannia, when George Brown Williamson purchased land for business development.
The township received its name from Sir Walter Scott's novel, reflecting the Australian practice of naming settlements after literary works during colonial expansion.
The Ivanhoe Health Service provides medical care to residents with support from the Royal Flying Doctor Service for specialized medical treatments.
The railway station, opened in 1925 on the Broken Hill line, continues to serve passengers despite the town's population of 162 recorded in 2021.
