Darlington Point is a small town on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River in the central Riverina district of western New South Wales, Australia.

[2]  A report published in August 1865 claimed that Darlington Point, by "the growth of free selection", was "fast assuming the dimensions and appearance of a township"; there were two hotels, one on either side of the river, which the writer concluded "can hardly be regarded as a favourable sign".

Keyran C. H. Cumming remained the licensee of the Coach and Horses Hotel at Darlington Point from 1871 to early 1879 (after which John Bowman held the licence).

[2] As the town centre became established in the southern township the name 'Darlington Point' was eventually used for the settlements on both banks of the river.

The town's main street is called Punt Road, a reminder of the public transport service that operated to ferry vehicles, stock and passengers across the river.

[8] Part of the old bridge was reconstructed for the Australian Bicentenary celebrations and can now be found at the entrance to the Darlington Point Riverside Caravan Park which is located on a bend along the banks of the Murrumbidgee River.

John Brown Gribble, a Congregational, later Anglican, minister, established an Aboriginal mission on "Warangesda" station, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Waddai township (near the crossing-place on the south bank).

The remains of an adobe building from this time can be seen in a paddock on "Warangesda" station (between Darlington Point township and the Sturt Highway).

Poet Banjo Paterson wrote about it in his poem "Flash Jack from Gundagai",[10][11] later transformed into a song by the The Bushwhackers.

[10] Darlington Point contains a small shopping precinct, a swimming pool, two churches, a hotel, a club and a school.

[citation needed] Sporting activities include bowling and tennis, as well as being represented by the Darlington Point-Coleambally Roosters in the Group 20 Rugby League competition.

[citation needed] Prior to the merger Darlington Point played in the Group 17 Rugby League competition.
