Mildura, on the Murray River in Victoria's far northwest, was settled in 1887. The Mildura Irrigation Company was founded on 28 December 1887 by American brothers George and William Chaffey, and the first settlers arrived soon afterwards. However, the district of Mildura had already been given its name on 20 March 1858.
The area where Mildura is now located was first discovered by Captain Charles Sturt in January 1830. Sturt travelled down the Murray River, tracing it to the sea, and reported on the rich, fertile land he noted along its banks. Mildura was actually settled in 1847.
