About Casino
Casino is a town located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, situated within the Richmond Valley Council local government area with the postcode 2470. Positioned on the banks of the Richmond River, the locality functions as an important regional hub supported by surrounding agricultural lands.
The local economy is strongly tied to agriculture. The town features a range of essential amenities, including primary and secondary schools, health services, sporting facilities, and a commercial business district centered along its main thoroughfares. It is connected to the broader region via the Summerland Way and the North Coast railway line.
Established in the mid-19th century, Casino has a rich European history that began with pastoral settlement in the 1840s, following the displacement of the traditional Indigenous custodians, the Bundjalung nation. The town was officially gazetted in 1855 and named after the nearby pastoral run. Several heritage-listed buildings remain from the Victorian and Federation eras, reflecting its long-standing role as an administrative and commercial center for the Northern Rivers.
