Mount Duval, a large forested mountain of the New England Range, part of the Great Dividing Range, is located on the Northern Tablelands in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia.
With an elevation of 1,393 metres (4,570 ft) above sea level,[1] Mount Duval is one of the largest peaks in the area, dominating the Armidale skyline located approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) to the south of the summit. Mount Duval features on the logo of the Armidale Dumaresq Council.
The mountain was named after John Duval, a convict and servant of a local pastoralist who worked in the area around the mountain in the 1830s.[2] Most of the mountain is contained within the Duval Nature Reserve.[3] Duval College at the University of New England is also named after the mountain.[citation needed]
