History

The original inhabitants of the land were Aborigines of the Kamilaroi clan.

William Dangar and Edward Gostwyck Cory explored the area around Danglemah in 1830. In 1832 Edward Gostwyck Cory cut a track over the Moonbi range that the existing highway has generally followed. Then by 1834 the first squatters began farming the area. [3]

Danglemah is the site of a closed railway platform on the Main North railway line in New South Wales, Australia. The platform was open between 1897 and 1985, initially as Jamieson's Siding, being renamed in 1918. [4]
