}}East Gresford is a village in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia in Dungog Shire. The village is located {{convert|192|km}} north of Sydney and the nearest major centres are Singleton some {{convert|42|km}} southwest and Maitland to the south. In the {{CensusAU|2006}}, it had a population of 289.[1]

History

The traditional owners of the area are the Gringai clan of the Wonnarua people, a group of indigenous people of Australia.[2]

The town is probably named for Gresford in Wales.

Location

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.

East Gresford is close to the Barrington Tops National Park, which includes the highest peak in the Hunter Valley and is a World Heritage site. It also snows in the area each winter. {{Citation needed|date=October 2016}}

In 2018 the annual Gresford Show was held in March. The highly successful Gresford Billycart Derby occurred on Easter Saturday, 31 March. The 2019 event will again be held on Easter Saturday.

More information and updates on activities can also be obtained from the monthly publication of the Gresford News which is also available on-line.

Climate

The areas surrounding East Gresford have a humid subtropical climate (Cfa) with hot summers and cool drier winters, similar to the Greater Western Sydney region.
