About Wangaratta

The city is situated at the intersection of the Ovens and King streams, which deplete the northwestern slants of the Victorian Alps. Wangaratta is the managerial focus and the most crowded city in the Rural City of Wangaratta nearby government region. The first occupants of the territory were the Pangerang people groups, who talked a Gunai dialect.

A considerable lot of the Pangerang were slaughtered in the Gippsland slaughters. The principal European pioneers to go through the Wangaratta region were Hume and Hovell 1824 who named the Oxley Plains promptly south of Wangaratta. Major Thomas Mitchell amid his 1836 campaign made a good report of its potential as brushing field. The primary squatter to arrive was Thomas Rattray in 1838 who manufactured a cottage on the site of the Sydney Hotel establishing a settlement known as "Stoves Crossing".

There are three Australian tenets football clubs in Wangaratta, the Wangaratta Football Club, the Wangaratta Rovers Football Club both contending in the Ovens and Murray Football League, and the North Wangaratta Football Club, which contends in the Ovens and King Football League.
