It is on the [[Federal Highway]] between [[Goulburn, New South Wales]] and the [[Australian Capital Territory]] and is 7[[kilometre|km]] north of [[Lake George (New South Wales)|Lake George]]. The area was first settled by [[Europe]]ans in 1829. T.A. Murray started a farm and built a 12-room house on the land in 1837. A [[post office]] opened at Collector in 1848. The village is named after the [[Indigenous Australian|Australian aboriginal]] name for the area, ''colegadar''. The village was by-passed by the Federal Highway in 1988. The Bushranger [[Hotel]] in Collector was the site of the shooting of policeman, Constable Samuel Nelson on 26 Jan 1865, by [[John Dunn]]. Dunn was a [[bushranger]] and a member of [[Ben Hall]]'s gang. The bushrangers were robbing the hotel when Nelson tried to stop them. O
