The main town of the Riverina, Griffith was developed in the early days of irrigation and designed by Walter Burley Griffin, the architect of Canberra. The Riverina is responsible for 60% of the grapes grown in NSW.

Griffith was established in 1916 as part of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area project, designed to irrigate the dry lands of the Riverina and make them suitable for farming.

Today, Griffith and its surrounds sustain thriving orchards and rice fields.

Approximately 60% of Griffith’s population claim Italian background – the first wave of Italian Immigrants came to Australia during the Depression while the second wave arrived in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Griffith is associated with good food and wine, which can be attributed equally to excellent growing conditions and Italian know-how.
