Humevale is a locality in Victoria, Australia, 39 km (24 mi) north-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Whittlesea local government area. Humevale recorded a population of 352 at the 2021 census.[3]

History

Located between Whittlesea and Kinglake West, Humevale was originally named Scrubby Creek, after a nearby watercourse.[4][5] 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.[4]

The area was originally worked by paling splitters and tenant farmers, who worked in the nearby Mount Disappointment range.[4][5] In 1894, the area was subdivided into small farms and a village settlement, as part of a government closer settlement scheme.[5] A number of orchards existed in the area until the 1930s, when they were replaced by livestock grazing.[4][5]

The Post Office opened around 1902 as Scrubby Creek, was renamed Humevale in 1927, and closed in 1959.[6] A school existed in the area from 1898 until 1968.[4][5]
