History

The town name is thought to come from the German word underbolt given to it by surveyor Dr Neumayer when he camped there in October, 1861. A Post Office opened on July 15, 1812 when a regular mail service was provided by the opening of the railway from Ouyen to Murrayville a month earlier.
