History

Amery was first known as "Ejanding" in 1910. Its name was changed to Amery in 1928, apparently because another railway siding approximately 26 kilometres (16 mi) further north was to be named Ejanding.[2]

A newspaper that included the name of Amery was the Dowerin guardian and Amery line advocate, which was published between 1927 and 1958.[3]
