The town was established in 1861 for gold mining purposes, with housing, a school, pubs, and other buildings being built. The school was closed in 1967 and turned into the town hall, the post office was closed in 1965, and by 1903 only two pubs were open, both of which are now closed. The town was named for the creek that runs around it and under the bridge at the town's entrance. The creek is only filled by large rainfalls, and for most of the year it is dry. The town is also surrounded by bushland, and is in a valley.
