Furracabad crime statistics

About Furracabad

Furracabad is a rural locality situated in the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales, within the Glen Innes Severn local government area and the 2370 postcode. Geographically, the area is characterized by elevated, undulating tablelands featuring a cool temperate climate with cold winters and warm summers. The local population is small and dispersed, primarily residing on rural properties, acreages, and agricultural holdings typical of the region's low-density settlement pattern.

Agricultural production forms the backbone of local life in Furracabad, with the economy driven predominantly by livestock grazing, including sheep and cattle, as well as broadacre farming suited to the tablelands environment. Due to its rural nature and small population, the locality contains minimal commercial amenities, relying instead on the nearby regional hub of Glen Innes for comprehensive retail, healthcare, education, and professional services.

The history of Furracabad is closely tied to European settlement and the expansion of pastoralism in the New England district during the 19th century. The locality's name derives from the historic 'Furracabad' pastoral run, which was established in the early colonial era. The area retains a quiet, historical rural character, marked by long-standing farming families and traditional agricultural landscapes that reflect the broader settlement history of the Northern Tablelands.
