Alma, VIC 3465
Overview
Alma sits on the Maryborough‑St Arnaud Road just west of Maryborough, giving residents straightforward road access to the wider region. With a modest 2021 census population of 195, the locality offers a quiet, low‑density lifestyle set against open country and easy connections to nearby towns.
Founded as a gold‑mining settlement and named for the Crimean‑War Battle of Alma, the town’s history is evident in its surveyed layout dating back to 1860 and the former post office that opened in 1861. Though the post office closed in 1969, the legacy of its peak‑era community of 2,109 people adds character to the mix of homes that now line the historic main road.
