Elsmore, New South Wales

Elsmore is a rural village, with a population of 327 (2006),[1] in Gough County on the Northern Tablelands, New South Wales, Australia.

Elsmore (also known as Ellmore and originally Glenmore) station of about 50,000 acres (200 km2) was settled by John Campbell in 1838.

Around 1870 Joseph Wills, a shepherd, is believed to have been the first to find tin in the New England district.

Shortly after selling these to a traveller from Sydney a rush began to search the tin fields around here, Inverell and other nearby areas.

The adjacent Sheep Station Hill has seen only minor scale hard rock and alluvial mining.
