Nestled amidst spectacular scenery and wildlife, this peaceful town is the service centre for people living in the far North East Gippsland area. The town boasts a fascinating historical retreat into the bygone era of early settlers and pastoralists. The name 'Delegate' is an aboriginal name meaning 'one big hill' and is first noted in 1864 in colonial writings of the Polish explorer Dr. John Lhotsky.
There are many other historical interests in the region including a small shrine marking the site of the first place of worship on the Monaro erected in the Delegate Cemetery, which also has many interesting graves dating back to early settlement. At the western end of Bombala Street stands a red granite monument commemorating the historic 'Men from Snowy River March' which commenced in Delegate in 1916.
