History

The area was first settled by Europeans in 1842 when Frederick Griffith established his Anakie pastoral run. In the 1850s Griffith subdivided some of the land along the Anakie Creek, which became a small village. A Wesleyan school opened in 1858 and a Catholic school in 1859. By 1865 the town had a hotel, post office, Presbyterian church, and two schools. A Catholic church was established in 1871 followed by an Anglican church in 1891. The size of the farming lots were too small for most farmers to make a living, and so consolidations occurred, which resulted in a drop in population.
