The Ovens District was an area in north-east Victoria inexactly defined, but usually considered to describe numerous gold mining settlements, principally situated on the Ovens River and its tributaries.
The river was visited by white explorers, Hume and Hovell, in 1824. They named it after Major John Ovens, private secretary to the New South Wales Governor, Thomas Brisbane.
