History

In the 1870s and 1880s, before the railway in 1892, the teamsters would depart from this place, and when the rail came through, Mogumber was the rail head for a year or so. In c1899, James Atkinson took charge of the hotel, erected a store, and the town grew. The 'hotel' comprised a tearooms and grog shop. The original 6 feet long bar is at a local farm. (Evans)
