History

The early settlers in Karlgarin Hill expected that the railway would pass through. In 1922, the Progress Association appointed a hall committee, and a hall was subsequently built. Karlgarin Sports and race days were held at various paddocks in the area. The tennis courts and football field were established near to the hall.

In 1924, A M Connell & Co established a shop and phone exchange at Karlgarin Hill. After the shop closed, Mrs Stafford continued to run the phone exchange at the shop until she located it to her farm.

Norm Crouch had established his store and fuel depot in 1924. The butcher and bakers shops both opened about 1926. The slaughter yards were located over the road from the shop, and a cement slab remains to mark the site. The shops were located east of the hall.

By 1930, the townsite of Karlgarin was progressing at the Karlgarin Siding, the railway having by passed Karlgarin Hill. After the townsite of Karlgarin at the siding developed, and the hall opened, Crouch and Thompson ceased trading.
