Wagga Wagga, New South Wales: The Effects Go Beyond Sports!
Wagga Wagga, aside from having a great name, is a small Australian city that has plenty to offer residents and visitors alike. While the first settlers and squatters would appear in the 1830’s the town wouldn’t officially be recognized until 1849. This would take nearly a century to grow into a city, but that steady growth paid off for the small city.
One of the most interesting things about Wagga Wagga is the way it straddles rural and urban. It’s big enough to be a city but small enough at under 60,000 people that it still feels a lot like a rural town. Rural industries like farming and ranching are still critical for the economy while several urban jobs and universities are available for locals to study at.
That combination of rural and urban, small and large, seems to really define the modern Wagga Wagga and help explain a lot of what makes it so successful. Historically this was an important part for World War I and World War II, but also a hotbed of anger and talk of secession during the Great Depression.
What’s The “Wagga Effect?”
Finally among local Aussies there’s no question they know about the Wagga Effect. This refers to the glaringly large number of professional athletes who come from this relatively small city. In fact, it is massively disproportionate to any other city in Australia.
This isn’t just limited to one sport, either. Multiple pros hail from Wagga Wagga in Australian rules football, cricket, golf, rugby, horse racing, soccer, tennis, and more. In fact, there are even Olympians who have come from this city. Dozens upon dozens of pro athletes hail from Wagga Wagga and that has not been lost on the media or coaches looking for their next batch of future stars.
Knowing this it should come as no surprise that Wagga Wagga is now home to a professional sports hall of fame.
