Hill End is a former gold mining town in New South Wales, Australia. The town is located in the Bathurst Regional Council local Government area. What is now Hill End was originally a part of the Tambaroora area; in the 1850s the Hill End area was known as Bald Hills, and Tambaroora town was a few kilometres to the north. In 1860 a village was proclaimed, first as Forbes and then in 1862 it was renamed Hill End. Tambaroora had been the larger centre; in 1865, it had seven public houses to Hill End's two. Following the discovery of rich gold reefs at Hawkins Hill (Hill End), in the early 1870s, Hill End overtook Tambaroora as the main town in the area.
