Beulah

History

The town's name is taken from the Book of Isaiah, 62:4. In some English translations, the word is given as "married" or "inhabited". Beulah was established on land that was once part of Brim station. Closer settlement began in the 1880s and the town site was proclaimed in 1891. A post office opened on May 6, 1891, and the railway from Warracknabeal opened on 5 January 1893. The line to Hopetoun opened on 6 March 1894. Beulah was the location for the fictional town Kiewarra in the 2019 film The Dry, starring Eric Bana.
