At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Angledool had a population of 58 people.[1] HistoryAngledool was previously known as New Angledool when it was established in the 1870s. In 1873 Robert Moore, the manager of the pastoral property, Muggarie Station, later known as Angledool Station, discovered opals. Charlie Dunstan in 1908 found two large opals the "Fire Queen" and "Queen of the Earth", at the Angledool diggings.[2] The nearby Narran River has led to flooding of the Angledool area in 1890, 1956, 1990, 1996 and again in March 2010. The 1956 flood was the biggest one that has been recorded.[3] In March 2010 the Narran River at Angledool flooded the nearby, Angledool Lake, which covers an area of around 1,100 hectares when full.[4] The lake then spilled into Weetalabah Creek that crosses the Castlereagh Highway, thus filling the Coocoran Lake, near Lightning Ridge.[5] Prior to World War II Angledool had a bakery, several hotels, a post office, court house and a general store. The village now has an old cemetery, a church, a few houses and several buildings that are over 120 years old. The town hall made from locally made mud bricks is a classic example of early local architecture.[6] References1. ^1 {{Census 2006 AUS|id=SSC16055|name=Angledool (State Suburb)|accessdate=2010-05-05|quick=on}} 2. ^Lightning Ridge Year by Year History 1900 to 1910 3. ^{{cite web|title=Angledool flooding|url=http://www.abc.net.au/rural/nsw/content/2010/03/s2852803.htm|work="I think its a bit bigger than the floods on 1990 and 1996, but not as big as the flood in 1956, which was the biggest recorded.
