History

The town retains the name it was given as a property established by Adam Armstrong in the 1840s; Armstrong was one of the settlers who arrived with Thomas Peel on Gilmore in 1829. The area was sub-divided in the 1960s and the shire requested that a townsite be declared. The town was gazetted in 1970.[2]
