Ariah Park is Born

Ariah Park is born

Railway access was needed to make wheat growing viable and after the railway was extended from Cootamundra to Temora in the early 1890’s, a push began to extend it further west, beyond Barellan. Finally the township of Ariah Park was surveyed as the railway seemed to be coming in that direction.


The line opened in November 1906 and triggered an explosion of rural development.

The village of Ariah Park was proclaimed on 13thNovember, 1907.

In the year 1914, a fire broke out on the western side of the main street, destroying a number of shops as well as the new Bank of New South Wales.

On 27 September 1916 Ariah Park took a special place in the development of the Australian Grain Industry when, for the first time anywhere in rural Australia, a shipment of wheat was loaded in bulk for rail transport to the seaboard.
