History
[edit | edit source]The large Tallygaroopna station was established in the 1840s by Edward Khull and two years later was sold to Sherbourne Sheppard, who later lent his name to the nearby city of Shepparton. The station was broken up for closer settlement in the 1870s,[2] the Post Office opening on 7 December 1875. The Tallygaroopna Railway Station Post Office opened on 17 October 1881, and was later renamed as Tallygaroopna and Tallygaroopna renamed as Tallygaroopna West.[3]
The local railway station was opened on the Goulburn Valley railway in 1881,[4] but does not see any passenger or freight services.

In April 2012, the town's only pub, the Victoria Hotel, burnt to the ground.[5]
