History
[edit]Agricultural settlement began in the Mincha area in the 1870s, bringing early infrastructure with it.[4] By the end of the decade, three small district schools had been established.[4] Transport links improved with the arrival of the railway from Pyramid Hill in 1884, and over time this shifted the centre of activity closer to the station.[4] A single school was opened there in 1909, replacing the earlier schools.[4]
The later introduction of irrigation changed local production patterns and encouraged the expansion of dairy farming.[4] During the first half of the twentieth century Mincha supported a butter factory before operations were centralised at Pyramid Hill and the plant closed in 1949.[4] At various times Mincha has also contained services such as a railway workshop, hotel, store, and public hall.[4] The last remaining school, Mincha West Primary School, closed in 1991.[4][5]
