History

Newlyn, Victoria is a town in the Shire of Hepburn on the Midland Highway.^[2] By 1915, Newlyn had two post offices. The first opened as the Bella Vue Post Office before it moved to the railway station and was renamed the Newlyn Railway Station Post Office.^[3] The second was more to the north and had operated under the name Newlyn Post Office ever since it had opened, forty-six years prior to 1915. It was then conducted by J. Williams.^[4]

In 1915, the Newlyn Railway Station Post Office relocated and now that the name no longer fit sixty residents signed a petition to rename it the Newlyn Post Office. Upon learning of this, 118 residents who were served by Williams' post office opted to keep it as the Newlyn Post Office.^[3] The Postmaster-General regardless renamed it Newlyn North, much to some residents' anger.^[4] Williams said in a meeting, to laughter, that:

...the residents near the Newlyn station had no more right to grab the name of their [Newlyn] Post Office than the German army had to march, over Belgium.

Newlyn and Newlyn North are 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) away from each other.^[2]
