DescriptionThe arrival of the first migrants in the Orange district in 1948 heralded significant changes in the life of the city. As the newcomers found jobs, built homes and settled into their new lives, the city developed with them. During the next two decades, when post World War II, migration to Australia reached its peak. Orange expanded from quiet centre of about 14,000 inhabitants to one of the most dynamic and successful cities in inland New South Wales.PublisherOrange City CouncilDate Published2007ContributorsElisabeth Edwards Last edited by: Alison Russell
