The name
Cowra could well come from the Aboriginal word meaning 'rocks', suggestive
of the granite outcrops overlooking the town. The Wiradjuri people moved
along the Lachlan River from Forbes to Gooloogong and on to Cowra. Here
the tribes split into clans, one moving East to Carcoar, another continuing
upstream to Reids Flat, while the rest stayed in the Cowra area.
