The Central Western Daily has been a vital part of Orange life since our first edition in October 1945.

Our story is your story. If you have any historic photos or memories from the past 75 years in Orange we'd love to see and publish them as part of our anniversary.

Were you born in Orange in October 1945, or know someone who was? Share the details with us.

There have been plenty of major events in Orange since our first edition came out just after the end of WWII. Were you on the street when the Queen visited in 1970, do you remember the Olympic torch procession 20 years ago or the Gnoo Blas car races?

Which big events do you remember, let us know what you rate as the biggest events to happen in our community.

Orange has seen significant changes in the past 75 years including the construction of some major buildings. Which buildings do you believe are the most important?

Industry and business have seen some ups and downs. From Electrolux to Cadia, Myer and plenty more. Did you work at any of them, share your favourite photos and memories.

From streetscenes to sport and family snaps in Orange send in your favourites to mail.cwd@austcommunitymedia.com.au as we'd love to share them.
