Laisserois

Laisserois is a locality in New South Wales, Australia. It is a small rural community situated approximately 23 kilometers southwest of the city of Armidale. The locality is located within the local government area of Armidale Regional Council.

Geographically, Laisserois encompasses a unique landscape characterized by rolling hills and verdant pastures. The area is dotted with small farms and homesteads, many of which have been in operation for generations. The soil types in the locality vary, with some areas featuring heavy clay, while other regions have a mix of sandy loam and clay.

The name Laisserois is derived from the French language and is often attributed to Albert Conroy, an early settler in the area. While the name translates to "let's go" in English, its origins are reportedly linked to Conroy's encouragement to other settlers to join him in the region.

As a small rural locality, Laisserois has limited infrastructure and amenities. There are no public schools within the area, and the nearest shopping center and community facilities are located in nearby Armidale. The locality is largely dependent on agriculture and farm-related industries, with some residents commuting to Armidale or other nearby towns for employment.

Historical records indicate that the area was first settled in the mid-to-late 19th century. Little has been documented about the early history of Laisserois, with reports suggesting that most residents were absorbed into neighboring communities, particularly Armidale and Uralla.
