Gold was found in the district in 1860. Until that time the area was called Lambing Flat, a reference to the grazing of sheep that was the main industry until mining. The town was gazetted in 1861.

Up to 20,000 miners worked the fields including about 2,000 Chinese miners.[1] Image File history File links Download high resolution version (1965x1146, 1418 KB) Banner from 1860 and 1861 anti-Chinese rebellion on the Lambing Flat goldfields, now present day Young, New South Wales, , Australia. ...

From November 1860 through to June 1861 anti-Chinese miners attacked Chinese gold miners in the area, now known as the infamous Lambing Flat riots. As gold became scarce, European miners began to resent what they saw as the greater success of the more industrious Chinese, and hence many Chinese miners were attacked, robbed and killed. The anti-Chinese rebels rallied in numbers of up to 3,000. Eventually the rioters were controlled, Chinese miners had their claims restored to them, but the New South Wales Parliament passed the Chinese Immigration Bill which restricted the number of Chinese that could be brought in to New South Wales on any ship and imposed a tax per head on entry. The Lambing Flat riots or Lambing Flat massacre were a series of violent anti-Chinese demonstrations that took place in the Burrangong region, in New South Wales, Australia. ...
In 1889 Young was the first town in Australia other than the capital cities to install electricity into the streets and homes of the township.[1]
