Litchfield

Litchfield is a rural district in north-western Victoria, 15 km north-west of Donald and west of Lake Buloke.

The district was originally known as Witchipool (the name of the parish) and, along with the adjoining Carron parish, it was taken up for farm selections during 1873-76. The Witchipool post office was opened in 1877 and schools were opened at Witchipool East (1879), Witchipool West (1880) and Carron (1881). The district's hotel was opened at Carron in 1882.
