About Edgeroi

Edgeroi is a small agricultural township in the north-west of New South Wales, located 26 kilometres north of Narrabri along the Newell Highway. With a population of 96 at the 2021 Census spread across a vast 347 square kilometres, the locality sits within the federal electorate of Parkes and the state electorate of Northern Tablelands. The area's rich black soil plains support a thriving farming community focused on wheat, sorghum, cotton, and cattle and sheep grazing.

Named after Edgeroi Station, once one of the largest pastoral properties in north-west New South Wales, the area was subdivided into soldier settler blocks following World War II. The Newell Highway and the historic North-West railway line pass through the township, though the railway station that opened in 1897 is now disused. Edgeroi serves as a community hub for surrounding farms, with residents travelling to Narrabri or Moree for shopping, schools, medical services, and other amenities.

Edgeroi falls under postcode 2390 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Northern Tablelands electorate.
