History

In the 1840s a small settlement developed on the Campaspe River servicing pastoral runs. The post office opened on 1 January 1849 as Bertram's Inn. On 1 January 1850 it was renamed Campaspie (sic). In 1864 when the township was established the name became Runnymede and in around 1882 the name was changed again to Elmore.

Due to local pressure, a Court of Petty Sessions opened at Elmore on 17 December 1965, despite its proximity to the then-existing court at Rochester. It closed on 1 January 1983 due to low usage; in 1981, it had sat for only 24 hours and heard 280 cases, mostly related to traffic offences.
