Longford is a town in the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. At the 2021 census, Longford and the surrounding area had a population of 1,489.[1]
It was named Longford because of the long ford across the rivers to get into Sale.[citation needed]
It is located at the junction of the South Gippsland Highway and the Longford-Rosedale Road, next to the Latrobe River. A new bridge over the floodprone Latrobe River was completed in 2006, replacing the historic swinging bridge. The road approach to the Sale Swing Bridge was prone to flooding, cutting the road to Sale, Victoria.
