        History

        Urangeline was an historic pastoral property of 107, 000 acres situated north west of Albury, New South Wales. It was originally taken up in 1864 by Robert Rand who ran the adjoining Mohonga Station. Rand worked a sheep run at both stations until his death in 1894, leaving his beneficiaries to form the Mohonga Pastoral Company and Urangeline Company to manage the stations. From 1906 Urangeline was taken over by the Urangeline Company, of which the Managing Director was Robert Rand's nephew, George Robert Jackson. After Jackson's death in 1918, N C Clapperton who was Secretary of the Urangeline Company, became the executor of his estate. In 1920 the station was purchased by the New South Wales Government as part of the Closer Settlement and Returned Soldiers Scheme. From 1921 Henry James Hazelwood is listed as the proprietor of Urangeline Station until around 1957.
