Map of Cunningar, NSW 2587
Cunningar is a locality in the Hilltops Council local government area, within the South West Slopes region of New South Wales, Australia. It is located immediately to the east of the town of Harden. There is a parish of the County of Harden of the same name, which comprises a part of the area of the locality.
The area now known as Cunningar lies on the traditional lands of Ngunnawal people, close to the eastern edge of the traditional lands of Wiradjuri people.Following colonial settlement, the area became used predominantly for agriculture and grazing. When the official map of Thomas Mitchell was made in 1834, there was already one settler house shown at what was then called Cunningham's Plains. Cunningham's Plains was the name of an immense rural estate of around 60,000 acres, which was not sub-divided into smaller properties until the early 20th century. Cunningar remains a rural locality today. As the area lay outside the Nineteen Counties, in which the colonial government permitted colonial settlement, the first settlers of the area, before 1834, were undoubtedly squatters, who had moved onto Aboriginal land and taken it over.
A village of Cunningar was proclaimed in 1857 and town lots were put up for sale in the same year. Around that time, it was uncertain whether Cunningar or Murrumburrah would become the larger settlement in the area, but the discovery of gold at Demondrille, near Murrumburrah, caused that town to prosper.Two of the streets of the village still exist today, as Allen and Allman Streets.
