The town’s name was derived from a local Aboriginal word that means “place of many stars.” Like many towns and villages in the country, Girilambone began as a railway settlement, as its railway station opened in 1884. However, the station was closed in 1986, and its disused buildings and facilities now survive but are in poor condition.
