| 説明 | Bangalow. Population 1,700.This town was named after the local Bangalow palm. After the cedar timber cutters left a few farmers moved into the district in 1881. A school opened in 1884 and the Post Office and general store began servicing the locals in 1891. The town became better established when the Casino to Murwillumbah railway reached the area in 1894. The station was named Bangaloe but this was changed to Bangalow in 1907. In 1901 a Catholic convent school opened and a local farmer added 100 town blocks to the settlement in 1903. Most of the town buildings were wooden and fires ravaged the town in 1907 and again in 1911 and in 1930 and in 1939. After 1939 more buildings were constructed in brick. Between the fires the town was flooded several times. Bangalow is basically a one street town and most significant buildings are in this main street. On the way into the town we will see on the left the terracotta roofed Anglican Church; on the right is the old timber framed Police Station; next corner on the right is the Presbyterian Church; next on right is the red brick primary school; over the main intersection on the left is the red brick Post Office and on the right a series of fine wooden two storey commercial buildings; at the top of the street is the Bangalow Hotel and some red brick banks. If you turn left at the roundabout beyond the hotel you will see St Kevin’s Catholic Church in red brick. In the side street at the main intersection (Station Street) is the impressive Masonic Hall, the quaint little RSL and the Uniting Church |
