Map of Morangarell, NSW 2666
Morangarell is a locality in Bland Shire in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia. There was once a village of the same name, now a ghost town. Morangarell lies between Temora and Grenfell, and Barmedman and Young. The locality is bisected by Bland Creek, a tributary of Lachlan River. The locality is rural, with the main economic activities being raising crops and grazing.
The area now known as Morangarell lies on the traditional lands of Wiradjuri people. The name Morangarell is said to mean “water fowl’s nest”.
The village, officially a town, was located within the modern-day locality, near the junction of modern-day Mary Gilmore Way—it bisects the old town site—and what is still known as McGregor Street. Morangarell serviced the needs of the surrounding agricultural properties, 'Moonbucca', 'Morangarell', 'Curraburrama' and 'The Retreat'.
The heyday of the village was from the 1870s to around 1918. It was only in November 1884, that the site of the Town of Morangarell was officially declared. In 1899, its plan was altered by closing streets and lanes and cancelling some land. A new street, East Street, was opened.
There has been a post office in the area since 1858. A church building, used by multiple denominations, opened in 1860. The first hotel dated from 1864; it later burned down but was rebuilt. It had a police court, by 1873. Morangarell was also at the convergence of roads leading to Young, Temora, Stockinbingal, Forbes, Barmedman, and Grenfell.
The southern section of the Stockinbingal–Parkes railway line, between Forbes and Stockinbingal, authorised in 1911, was completed in 1918.
