布罗肯希尔（Broken Hill）被称为银城，位于世界上最丰富的银，铅和锌矿石矿床之一。查尔斯·斯特特（Charles Sturt）于1844年首次访问了该遗址，该地区属于驼背山脉。该定居点是在1883年在那里发现铅和银之后建立的。采矿业务是由布罗肯希尔私人有限公司（现在的必和必拓）于1885年成立的。1888年被宣布为直辖市，并于1888年成为城市。 1907年。1925年成立的工会工业联盟（Barrier Industrial Council）在该市的公民事务中仍然具有影响力。
The mining field is one of Australia’s greatest mineral assets, producing huge quantities of ore (Australia, the world’s largest exporter of lead in the early 21st century, extracted most of its recorded production of lead from Broken Hill). Crude ore is milled in the city; lead concentrates are then shipped to Port Pirie (South Australia) for refining. Zinc concentrates for smelting and refining are sent by railway to Cockle Creek or Port Pirie or are exported to Tasmania. Both concentrates are a source of sulfur for the manufacture of sulfuric acid. The city is also the centre of the West Darling pastoral area. Broken Hill’s commercial relations are principally with South Australia, because a rail connection was completed to Adelaide, 340 miles (550 km) southwest, in 1887, and there was no such link to Sydney (570 miles [915 km] east) until 1927.
Broken Hill has a community college, hospitals, shops, and hotels. It is the base for a Royal Flying Doctor Service clinic and a School of the Air (which conducts school lessons via radio for outback children). Broken Hill is linked by air and rail to most major Australian cities and is at the junction of the Silver City and Barrier highways. Water is pumped from as far away as the Darling River (70 miles [110 km] east). The city has developed regeneration areas around itself—tracts of native vegetation planted on denuded soil—to halt the threat of drift sand coming from land once used for mining. The Menindee Lakes on the Darling form a 40,000-acre (16,000-hectare) recreation area. Pop. (2006) local government area, 19,361; (2011) local government area, 18,517.
