Hoddles Creek is a bounded rural locality near MelbourneinVictoria, Australia, located within the Shire of Yarra Ranges local government area. Hoddles Creek recorded a population of 676 at the 2021 census.[1]

Location

[edit]

Hoddles Creek is situated 72 km east of Melbourne's central business district.[2] It stands on the banks of the Hoddles Creek, which was named after Robert Hoddle.[2][3] Blackleather Creek also flows through the town.[3]

History

[edit]

Hoddles Creek was named for Robert Hoddle (1794–1881), who surveyed the area in 1844.[3] The town developed thanks to the Victorian Gold Rush in the 1860s.[3] It was home to one of the largest minefields in Victoria up until the 1900s.[3]

The Post Office opened as Hoddle's Creek on 24 May 1862 and closed 1865.[4] It reopened in 1869 (though known as Warburton from 1874 until 1879) and closed in 1967.[4]

In 1916, the Hoddles Creek Primary School was founded to replace other local schools.[5][6] It still runs to this day.

Sir Harrie Massey, the renowned mathematical physicist, spent his early years from 1908 in Hoddles Creek.[7]

It is home to several vineyards.[3] For example, the Hoddles Creek Estate was founded by the D'Anna family in 1997.[8] The town is also home to berry farms and tree farms.[3]
