History
Bribbaree was declared a village in the Shire of Burrangong on 23 March 1917. 34.8 hectares (86 acres) were set aside for the township, with a further 97 hectares (240 acres) designated suburban land.[3] A sale of Crown Lands was subsequently held in Young on 8 August 1917[4] at which all but six of the 29 lots offered were sold.[5]
The settlement was named after the adjacent Bribbaree Creek. According to C. A. Irish, the name "Bribbaree" is derived from "Boorri-Boolla", a combination of "Boorri" meaning "boy" and "Boollo", "two", from a nearby rock formation.[6]
A monument to the five soldiers from Bribbaree who died in World War I was erected in 1921–1922. They were Charles Ernest Downey, Alfred Downey, Anthony Steel Caldwell, Hugh Wallace McAlister and Percy William Geraty.[7]
The population of Bribbaree was reported as 267 at the 2011 census,[8] and 141 at the 2016 census[9] and had increased to 144 at the 2021 census.[10]
