Cornwall is a rural locality in the local government area (LGA) of Break O'Day in the North-east LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about 44 kilometres (27 mi) south-west of the town of St Helens. The 2016 census provides a population of 65 for the state suburb of Cornwall.[1]
History[]
Cornwall was gazetted as a locality in 1973.[2]
It was named by Governor King in 1804, presumably because, like Cornwall in Britain, it was a major coal mining area.[3]
Geography[]
Cornwall is totally surrounded by the locality of St Marys.[4]
Road infrastructure[]
Route A4 (Esk Main Road) passes to the south of the locality, from where Cornwall Road provides access.[2][5]
