Parkham is a locality and small rural community in the local government areas of Meander Valley, West Tamar and Latrobe, in the Launceston and North-west and west regions of Tasmania. It is located about north of the town of Deloraine. The 2016 census determined a population of 129 for the state suburb of Parkham.[1]
The name ”Parkham” was applied to a Post station in the vicinity in 1886.[2] It may be that this was named for Parkham in England.
The C711 route (Parkham Road) runs north-east from the Bass Highway to the locality.[3]
