| Description: | An administrative area extending from Tamworth in the South to Barraba in the North, and containing the towns of Somerton, Attunga and Manilla. |
| Origin: | Probably named after Governor Sir Ralph Darling (1775-1858), who arrived in Hobart in December, 1825, proclaimed the separation of Tasmania, appointed a lieutenant-governor and proceeded to Sydney. He was recalled in March, 1831. His period of office was very stormy, as he faced a changing political and social situation in the Colony. |
