Tocumwal (/ˈtoʊkəmwɔːl/ TOH-kəm-wawl)[2] is a town in the southern Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia, in the Berrigan Shire local government area.

The town, 270 kilometres (170 mi) north of the city of Melbourne, lies on the northern bank of the Murray River, which forms the border with Victoria.

[1] The name of the town is probably a corruption of the local Pangerang indigenous word, "Tucumiva" (or "Tucumival"), meaning "deep hole".

[6] Prior to Federation, Tocumwal was an important customs point for goods moving between the then British colonies of Victoria and New South Wales.

Also during the War, Tocumwal was the location of RAAF No.14 Inland Aircraft Fuel Depot (IAFD), completed in 1942 and closed on 14 June 1944.

[10] After the War ended, families were housed at the American Air Force Hospital and the men travelled daily over the river to Yarroweyah, in Victoria, to work on farms, which they could then apply for under the soldier settlement scheme.

Called Tocumwal houses, they remain a distinctive architectural feature in Canberra's suburbs, such as O'Connor and Ainslie.
