Towns
The population of the area is small and quite decentralised, resulting in a large number of small towns. Some of these towns were founded as support sites for workers on the hydro-electric dams scattered along the upper Derwent River. Main towns are considered Hamilton (council headquarters) and Bothwell, but the largest town is Tarraleah.
The towns (with population as of 2006):
- Bothwell (376)
- Bronte Park (16)
- Derwent Bridge (?)
- Hamilton (300)
- Liawenee (?)
- Miena (104)
- Ouse (137)
- Tarraleah (500)
