Location
East Gresford is a village in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia in Dungog Shire. The village is located 192 kilometres north of Sydney and the nearest major centres are Singleton some 42 kilometres southwest and Maitland to the south.
There are actually two small villages with the name ‘Gresford’. There is Gresford (or West Gresford) on the Singleton side and East Gresford on the Maitland side. It appears that Gresford is the original township, as it is older and the location of the school and local Anglican church. But East Gresford is much larger and has the main shopping area. It is also home to the Gresford Scorpions Soccer Club. (wikipedia)
History
The traditional owners of the area are the Gringai clan of the Wonnarua people, a group of indigenous people of Australia.
The town is probably named for Gresford in Wales. (wikipedia)
