The area was originally the territory of the Ngadjuri people. [3] Following European settlement, it was surveyed into 500 acre blocks and taken up by farmers in 1879. [4] Bundey Post Office opened on 1 May 1882 and closed on 1 October 1901. [5]

Bundey Immanuel Lutheran Church was established in 1889. The first building was pug and daub. After storm damage, a more substantial building of limestone and bricks replaced it in either 1900 or 1905. [6] The church building also served as a school during the week, with lessons in a mixture of German and English, until its forced closure by the state government in 1917. [7] [8] The church itself closed in January 1925, and the building is now an abandoned ruin. [9]
