==History==
In 1848, Alexander Campbell held the Inverell Station on the Macintyre River.
The name derives from the name of Mr. MacIntyre's estate. The word is of Gaelic origin, and signifies "meeting place of the swans"; from "Inver", a meeting place, and "Ell", a swan. The MacIntyre River and Swanbrook Creek join here. The area was also known as "Green Swamp" in the 1850s. Wheat growers, Colin and Rosanna Ross established a store there in 1853,〔Readers Digest Guide to Australian Places, Readers Digest, Sydney〕 when he asked that a town be surveyed. In 1858 this was done and in the following years the plan was approved and the first land sale was held. ''Byron'' Post Office (open since 1855) was replaced by the Inverell Post Office on 15 September 1859. The municipality was proclaimed in March 1872. The last section of the Inverell branchline, from Delungra to Inverell, was opened on 10 March 1902. The last train ran to Inverell on 22 June 1987,〔 and the Delungra to Inverell section of the line was closed on 2 December 1987.〔
In 1871, the population of Inverell was 509, this increased to 1,212 in 1881. After Federation, the population of Inverell was 1,230 in 1911, and grew to 6,530 (1947) and 8,209 (1961 census).
