Nicholls Rivulet was gazetted as a locality in 1956. It is believed to be named for William Nichols, the first European to settle in the Port Cygnet area, circa 1835.[2]
The waters of Port Cygnet form the southern part of the western boundary. Nicholls Rivulet (the watercourse) flows through the locality from north to south-west.[3]
Route B68 (Channel Highway) runs through from north-west to south-west. From there, Route C626 (Nicholls Rivulet Road) provides access to the rest of the locality.[2][4]
