Irrara County has now towns of any size. The only settlements are the localities of Yantabulla, New South Wales and Fords Bridge, New South Wales. Yantabulla has been noted as being the future location of the rare double-sighting of solar eclipses within short intervals of one another.[1]

Barringun, Queensland at the north eastern corner of the County, Hungerford, Queensland at the north west corner of the county Enngonia, New South Wales and Waanaring, New South Wales at the south west corner of the county all lie just outside the county.

Irrara is believed to be derived from a local Aboriginal word.[2]
