Charles Sturt passed through the general country in 1830, and Charles Lockhart in 1862. In 1876 the settlement at Euston was described in the following terms: Euston is a crossing-place for sheep and cattle. There is a Custom-house officer here, though I should judge that his avocations were not of an extremely onerous nature, and the township also possesses a post and telegraph office. If the building can be taken as a type of the township, Euston has not a long life before it. The walls appear as if rent apart by an earthquake. The hotels and about a dozen houses constitute the remainder of the township.Euston and Robinvale are home to a large Italian population from the southern province of Calabria in Italy
