Dalwood, New South Wales (Singleton Council)

Dalwood is a locality in the Singleton Council local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It is situated approximately 160 kilometers (99 miles) north-northwest of Sydney and lies within the Hunter Region.

Historically, Dalwood was an important agricultural area, known primarily for viticulture. It was the site of one of Australia’s earliest vineyards, established by James Busby in the 1830s. The area retains some agricultural land use, although its character has evolved over time.

The area is largely rural, characterized by farmland and bushland. Population density is low. The landscape is shaped by the Hunter River and its tributaries.

While not a major population center, Dalwood contributes to the overall economy and character of the Singleton Council area. It maintains some connection to its historical roots as a significant part of the Hunter Valley's wine industry beginnings. More recent development has seen diversification of agricultural practices in the broader region.
