The Yandoit area was first settled by Captain John Stuart Hepburn.[2] Alluvial gold was discovered in 1854 and 5,000 miners came to the area creating a gold rush. The gold soon ran out and deep lead mining started in 1858.[2] Yandoit was surveyed in 1861 when it had a population of 232. Despite its population declining to 77 in 1881, Yandoit was proclaimed a township in 1885.[2]
Many Swiss Italians settled in Yandoit and built many of the remaining stone buildings.[2]
