The Post Office opened on 16 August 1890 shortly before the railway arrived.[2]
The Town today
The town centre is marked by a wide tree-lined median strip [3] and a number of craft and antique shops along both sides.
An annual art and craft show takes place in November, each year.
The town also has a golf course, the Meeniyan Golf Club on Buffalo Road.[4]
Meeniyan is also now known for the filming of Bed of Roses a mini-series on ABC1.
The town in conjunction with neighbouring township Dumbalk has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Alberton Football League.[5]
