Singleton is home to one of the oldest wine growing areas and also some unique attractions such as Australias oldest winery, the largest Sundial and the biggest Solar Farm in the Southern Hemisphere.

The settlement of Singleton began in 1820. By the 1860s, with the coming of the railway, the district rural industries increased and the town prospered. It was the development of the massive coal deposits in the latter part of the 20th century that saw an increase in the population and added to the expansion of the district.
