This plaque marks the spot where Lightning Ridge got its name.
Sometime around 1870, a shepherd, his dog and 600 sheep were struck dead by lightning here.
From then on the area was unofficially known as Lightning Ridge, a name also used by government departments.
The village was proclaimed in 1908
The name was gazetted on the Sth of July 1963.
