Lockhart is a town of 950 people and Local Government Area in the Riverina Region of New South Wales, Australia. It is the location of the Lockhart Shire Council offices. Lockhart was named after C.G.N. Lockhart - a commissioner for Crown Lands in the Murrumbidgee River area in the 1850's. It was originally known as Greens Gunyah, and renamed Lockhart in 1897. Greens Gunyah was so named because a Mr Green was the earliest settler and had a grog shop there, on the Urana - Wagga Wagga stagecoach route.
Tim Fischer, National Party leader (1990-1999) and 11th Deputy Prime Minister of Australia was born here.
