History
Glen Innes is named after Archibald Clunes Innes, from Scotland. A captain in the British Army, he arrived in Australia in 1822 in charge of 170 convicts. Innes held a number of New England properties including Glen Innes Station.
Tin was first discovered at Emmaville in 1872 and Glen Innes became the centre of a mining bonanza during the late 1800's
Glen Innes has a number of street signs in Scottish Gaelic (though few residents speak much of the language). The standing stones are based on the Ring of Brodgar in Orkney (a non-Gaelic speaking area) or Calanais in Lewis.
