Key Information

History

[edit]

The name Mooroopna was used by the original Kaieltheban tribe living in the area and meant 'deep water hole'. This refers to a very deep part of the Goulburn River behind the old Mooroopna Hall. The Kaielthebans (population 50 in 1841) were part of the Yorta Yorta Nation living in the region before the arrival of Europeans.

Two entrepreneurs, Joseph Hawdon and Charles Bonney, camped on the edge of Gemmill's Swamp, close to Mooroopna, in January 1838. They were overlanding large herds of cattle and sheep from an area close to modern Seymour to Adelaide, about 1200 km by bullock dray along the Goulburn and Murray Rivers. Three years later, squatters settled in surrounding areas running sheep on the well-grassed plains. The first settler in the town was William Simmonds Archer who purchased land in 1860 and built his home/hotel in McLennan Street, overlooking the river. He was followed by W. H. Morrell who selected most of the remaining township. Early commerce flowed from revenue gained by punt owners at Shepparton and in Mooroopna, who exploited the traffic from gold fields in Bendigo to those in Beechworth. The post office opened on 19 April 1873.[4]

Mooroopna became a centre for local commerce especially after the beginning of irrigation from the early 1880s. The first school was opened in 1874, the first bank in the same year, the punt in 1875, the Mooroopna Hospital in 1876 and the railway from Seymour in 1880.[5] Like other country towns, Mooroopna became infested with hotels and churches, the influence and numbers of both having declined since the Second World War. Also, like other towns, Mooroopna lost young men to wars in South Africa, Europe and in Asia and has several memorials recording their names.

The Historical Society of Mooroopna was established in 1983 and exists to collect, collate and display items and material relevant to the history of Mooroopna and the surrounding district. The society's museum and gallery is located at 30 Park Street, Mooroopna, the former Grutzner House nursing home, at the rear of the old Mooroopna Hospital.

Government

[edit]

Mooroopna was originally part of the Shire of Waranga, proclaimed in 1865. With boundary changes it became a riding of the Shire of Rodney in 1886.

Separated only by the Goulburn River from Shepparton, the town resisted many moves for amalgamation, but was forced into union with its larger neighbour in 1994 with the creation of the City of Greater Shepparton. The total population is about 63,269 (30 June 2014), and is expected to increase to 81,378 by 2031.[6] The first councillors were elected in 1997.

Mooroopna is within the Victorian state electoral district of Shepparton and the Federal Division of Nicholls.

Industry

[edit]

In the beginning, industry revolved around the processing of grains and fruit ,but in the past 30 years, Mooroopna has become a desirable residential area for nearby Shepparton.

The town now consists of mainly residential areas, many parks and gardens.

SPC Ardmona closed its Mooroopna processing plant in 2011.[7]

Some industry remains in the town, such a EDP Australia, who manufacture fruit and vegetable packing equipment, Redland fruit have a fruit packhouse in Young Street, packing apples and pears for supermarkets and export, and Gouge linen have a large industrial laundry in the north of the town.

There are many orchards and dairy farms surrounding the town, and increasingly almonds are becoming a popular crop, with several large almond orchards being established in late 2024.

History

Pre-colonial and Indigenous Heritage

The area encompassing Mooroopna is part of the traditional lands of the Nation, recognized as the custodians of this region under Victorian legislation.

For thousands of years, the people sustained their culture through close ties to the and surrounding wetlands, engaging in for species like , gathering edible plants, mussels, and other foods, and holding ceremonies that reinforced spiritual and communal bonds with the landscape. Archaeological records from the broader Yorta Yorta territory, including sites like Kow Swamp near the Goulburn River system, reveal evidence of continuous Indigenous occupation spanning over 13,000 years, with human remains and artifacts attesting to adaptive lifeways in this riverine environment. Colonization from the mid-19th century onward severely disrupted these traditions, causing an estimated 85% decline in the population within the first generation due to disease, violence, and dispossession, while forcing communities into missions such as Cummeragunja and later relocations to areas like Mooroopna, including after the Cummeragunja walk-off when many settled in Mooroopna and nearby towns. Contemporary efforts to honor this heritage include the Nation Aboriginal Corporation's designation as the Registered Aboriginal Party under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006, enabling oversight of cultural site protection and land management practices in the region.
