Auckland County is one of the 141 cadastral divisions of New South Wales. It is at the extreme south-east of the state, with the Victorian border to the south, and the area to the north of the Brogo River the boundary to the north. It includes Bega, Eden and Merimbula.
The county was named after George Eden, who was the First Earl of Auckland between (1784–1849).[1] (Coincidentally, the county has the same latitude as the city of Auckland, New Zealand – which was also named for George Eden.) In 1852, the county had an area of 1,536,000 acres (6,220 km2) and was described as being mountainous with fertile plains.[2]
