Epping Forest was gazetted as a locality in 1956. The area was named Epping by Governor Macquarie's party in 1811, presumably for Epping in England. It became known unofficially as Epping Forest and, when in 1956 a name change was required to avoid duplication, Epping Forest was chosen.^[2]

Geography[]

The South Esk River forms the northern boundary, and the Macquarie River forms part of the southern.^[3]

Road infrastructure[]

National Route 1 (Midland Highway) passes through from south-east to north-west.^[2]^[4]
