History

The suburb of Kooringal was a dairy and grazing property and homestead in the 1960s which was also named Kooringal.^[2] Kooringal was at one point called Henwood Park Settlement due to the extensive area subdivided by pastoralist, Stan Henwood. "Darrung" Post Office established in Henwood Park Settlement at the request of locals however the name disappeared when the Wagga Wagga City Council named the suburb Kooringal after the property.^[2] Stage one of The Kooringal Mall with ten shops was established in October 1968 and stage two was completed in August 1971 with another nine shops added.^[4]
