History

The village grew as a result of the completion of the Stockinbingal-Parkes railway line. Bribbaree railway station opened in 1916. [6]

Bribbaree was declared a village in the Shire of Burrangong on 23 March 1917. 34.8 hectares (86 acres) were set aside for the township, with a further 97 hectares (240 acres) designated suburban land. [7] A sale of Crown Lands was subsequently held in Young on 8 August 1917 [8] at which all but six of the 29 lots offered were sold. [9]

The settlement was named after the adjacent Bribbaree Creek. According to C. A. Irish, the name "Bribbaree" is derived from "Boorri-Boolla", a combination of "Boorri" meaning "boy" and "Boollo", "two", from a nearby rock formation. [10]

A monument to the five soldiers from Bribbaree who died in World War I was erected in 1921–1922. They were Charles Ernest Downey, Alfred Downey, Anthony Steel Caldwell, Hugh Wallace McAlister and Percy William Geraty. [11]

Bribbaree railway station closed in 1983. [6]
