It is the location of the Lockhart Shire Council offices. At the 2011 census, Lockhart had a population of 800 people.[1] HistoryLockhart was named after C.G.N. Lockhart - a commissioner for Crown Lands in the Murrumbidgee River area in the 1850s. It was originally known as Greens Gunyah, and renamed Lockhart in 1897. Greens Gunyah was so named because a Mr Green was the earliest settler and had a grog shop on the Urana - Wagga Wagga stagecoach route.[2] Ferriers Post Office opened on 16 May 1882 and was renamed Lockhart in 1898.[3] Tim Fischer, National Party leader (1990–1999) and 11th Deputy Prime Minister of Australia was born here. A railway station served the town between 1901 and 1975, it has now been restored and converted into a New South Wales Rural Fire Service station. Seasonal grain trains service silos in the town.[4]Notable Former Residents
