Editing Wodonga (section)

==History==
Founded as a customs post with its twin city [[Albury]] on the other side of the [[Murray River]], the town grew subsequent to the opening of the first bridge across the [[Murray River]] in 1860. Originally named Wodonga, its name was changed to Belvoir then later back to Wodonga.

The Post Office opened 1 June 1856 although known as Belvoir until 26 July 1869.<ref name = "b">{{Cite web | last = Phoenix Auctions History | title = Post Office List | url = http://www.phoenixauctions.com.au/cgi-bin/wsPhoenix.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=VIC&filter=*Wodonga*| access-date = 25 January 2021 }}</ref> 
It had previously been regarded as the smaller, less prosperous cousin of the two. Whilst still somewhat smaller than Albury, economic growth in both areas has ameliorated such distinctions.

The local Indigenous [[Pallanganmiddang people|Waywurru]] name for the area, "Wordonga", refers to an edible plant or nut found in lagoons.<ref name="Clark, Ian D. 2002"/>
