History
The land on which Deepwater was established is the territory of the Ngarabal people, who had occupied and carefully cultivated the land for thousands of years. The Ngarabal name for Deepwater is Talgambuun, meaning dry country with many dead trees.
The Deepwater run was occupied in 1839 by William Collins for the Windeyer brothers. In 1848, their run covered 60,000 acres (240 km2). The Windeyers had a close relationship with Edward Irby, who took up Bolivia Station further north.
Deepwater railway station was opened in 1886 and served the town until its closure in 1989. The Deepwater Public School was established in 1894. Some of the old buildings still in existence are the Deepwater Inn (currently being restored after a fire), the Picture Theatre, the Court House, the Post Office, the School of Arts, the General Store, and the Deepwater Public School.
The district is an agricultural area, with the main pursuits being wool, fat-lamb, and beef-cattle production. In the past, dairying, tin mining, and timber were industries that contributed to the district's economy.
