History
[edit | edit source]Located between Whittlesea and Kinglake West, Humevale was originally named Scrubby Creek, after a nearby watercourse.[2][3] It was renamed Humevale in the 1920s by second-generation settlers, and was named after explorer Hamilton Hume, who explored nearby Mount Disappointment in 1824.[2]
The area was originally worked by paling splitters and tenant farmers, who worked in the nearby Mount Disappointment range.[2][3] In 1894, the area was subdivided into small farms and a village settlement, as part of a government closer settlement scheme.[3] A number of orchards existed in the area until the 1930s, when they were replaced by livestock grazing.[2][3]
The Post Office opened around 1902 as Scrubby Creek, was renamed Humevale in 1927, and closed in 1959.[4] A school existed in the area from 1898 until 1968.[2][3]
