About
About Orange
Orange is a city on the western edge of the Central Tablelands region in New South Wales, Australia. It is 254 km (158 mi) west of the state capital, Sydney [206 km (128 mi) on a great circle], at an altitude of 862 metres (2,828 ft).
Orange is not named for the citrus fruit: the area around the town is nowhere near warm enough to grow oranges! (Somewhat amusingly, Orange is instead noted for its apple orchards.) Rather, it was named for Prince William of Orange, later William I of the Netherlands. The people of the three rivers, the Wiradjuri people, are the traditional owners of the land. Orange has a population of approximately 41,000 people and is one of the older towns in inland New South Wales.
