Ballarat started out as a gold-mining town. The first goldrushes in Victoria started in 1851 in an area encompassing where Ballarat and Bendigo now stand. Many of the towns within what is called the "Golden Triangle" started out as diggers' camps. Like many gold-mining camps, the town grew out of the need to provide supplies for the miners.
