The Murrumbidgee Irrigator was a weekly newspaper published in Leeton, New South Wales, Australia from 1915 to 2001.[1]

History

The Murrumbidgee Irrigator was first published on 23 April 1915 only a few years after the establishment of the town.[2][3] Its circulation included Barellan, Brobenah, Darlington Point, Leeton, Mirrool, Whitton, Wilbriggie, and Yanco.[4] It changed hands a number of times. John Joseph Sullivan owned the paper early in its history, while it was later acquired by Rupert Henderson, who was first general manager of John Fairfax & Sons and later managing director.[5]

In November 2001, it was renamed The Irrigator[1] and remains in publication under this name.[6]

Digitisation

The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program of the National Library of Australia.[7][8]
