History
The locality takes its name from the Terrica parish name, which in turn takes its name from early pastoral run spelt variously in the New South Wales Government Gazette as Terica, Terrea, Terren or Terrin.[1]
Terrica was opened for selection on 17 April 1877; 31 square miles (80 km2) were available.[2]
