Cadell County is one of the 141 Cadastral divisions of New South Wales. It contains the city of Moama.
Cadell County was named in honour of Francis Cadell (1822-1879), river navigator and entrepreneur[1] who in 1852, in preparation for the launch of his steamer service, explored the Murray river in a canvas boat, travelling 1,300 miles (2,100 km) downstream from Swan Hill.[2]
