Tylden

History

The Tylden post office was opened on 7 January 1860. In March 1880, Tylden railway station was opened when the branch line to Daylesford was completed as far as Trentham. In February 1928, the station became unstaffed and was supervised from Carlsruhe station. Tylden station was closed in July 1978, along with the whole Daylesford line. The notable RAAF commander, Joe Hewitt, was born in Tylden.
