[5][1] It began originally by 1908 as a private subdivision of section 5 in the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Peake by a local landowner known as "Mr.Cross of Wellington".

[12] The 'private town' is located in the approximate centre of the locality with the Mallee Highway to its north and the Pinnaroo railway line to its south.

The football oval is no longer in use, and now farmed, and its clubrooms are used by the Jabuk tennis team.

The Epiphany Lutheran Church, the foundation stone being laid on 7 February 1960, has long been closed.
