Welcome to Uranquinty!
About Uranquinty
Uranquinty, an unusual name and a unique place on the map. This name is etched in
the memory of over 2,000 pilots and airforce personnel who trained here from 1941 to
1958 as well as the 28,000 displaced persons who passed through the migrant camp from 1948 to 1951.
The village of Uranquinty began like most other settlements through out the area,
because of a need for expansion and settlement of new lands during the 1800s
and the building of the railway from Wagga Wagga to Albury

The Uranquinty Neighbourhood Centre has played an important role in our village since 1983

For Visitors
Welcome to our village, it’s a great place to stop and break your journey.
We have one of the best bakeries in the Riverina at the Quinty Bakehouse. Our village is the obvious location to break your journey with a cake and coffee, and for caravanners, we have the facilities for you to empty your grey waste.
