Raymond Terrace

Raymond Terrace

      town, eastern New South Wales, Australia, on the east bank of the Hunter River (near its junction with the Williams), just north of Newcastle. Founded in the 1830s, the town was named after a member of an exploring expedition in 1812 led by Gov. Lachlan Macquarie. An important wool river port in the 1840s, Raymond Terrace was proclaimed a municipality and in 1937 merged into the Shire of Port Stephens. In a district of citrus and vegetable growing, dairying, and lumbering, the town is accessible (via the Pacific Highway) from Sydney, 88 miles (142 km) south-southwest, and has developing light industries, including rayon and fibreboard factories. An aluminum smelter operates at nearby Tomago. The 50-square-mile (130-square-km) Tomago Sandbeds, part of the Newcastle water supply system, are also nearby. Pop. (2006) 12,223.
