Won Wron

Won Wron is a rural locality in south-eastern Victoria, 12 km north of Yarram and 170 km south-east of Melbourne. The origin of the name is obscure: an Aboriginal word or words is the most probable conjecture, and a less likely alternative is a corruption of the expression 'one (pastoral) run'.

Won Wron is situated in flat to undulating country with some alluvial flats. Farm settlers engaged in timber cutting and, after land clearing, in dairying. A school was opened in 1877. Dairying was assisted by the opening of a creamery in 1894, and a hall was opened in 1907.
