Boorowa, Administrative division in Hilltops Council, Australia
Located 340 kilometers southwest of Sydney, Boorowa stands on a river tributary of the Lachlan at 490 meters above sea level.
The first European settlement began in 1821 when Irish convicts Rodger Corcoran and Ned Ryan established themselves in the area previously inhabited by Wiradjuri people.
The name Boorowa comes from the Aboriginal word Burrowa, referring to the plains turkey, reflecting the strong connection to indigenous heritage.
The region contains numerous agricultural enterprises and maintains essential services for surrounding farming communities within the Hilltops Council jurisdiction.
The town transformed from Burrowa to Boorowa after receiving railway connections in 1914, marking a significant phase in regional development.
