Crossing to the northern side he observed gig wheel tracks where white settlers had ventured beforehand. The town was surveyed in its present formation in 1856 with ten streets from east to west and ten streets from north to south, bounded by the Black Swan anabranch of the Murray River. Places of interest include - The Howlong Hovell Tree, Howlong Hotel, Memorial Park, Blacksmith Shop Location and Garage.
