History
The first Europeans arrived in 1830 making it the Riverina’s oldest township. However, many historians doubt such an early settlement. In the 1840s, Augustus Morris came to the region looking for new grazing lands. That is when Moulamein was first mentioned in an official capacity. Back then the town was one of the region’s major administrative centres.
