Welcome to Historical Carlsruhe Mk. 2, a quick and easy multi replacing the muggled and now archived micro of the same name and continuing our historical tour of the Carlsruhe Federation Trail.
In 1837 Charles Hotson Ebden settled a sheep run at Carlsruhe thus establishing the first pastoral settlement north of The Great Divide in Victoria.
From this run grew the village of Carlsruhe named after the German University City of Karlsruhe where Ebden was educated.
At WP1 you will find a plaque marking the 150th. anniversary of the settlement of Carlsruhe.

Approximately 100m to the west is the location of the original beautiful bluestone Presbyterian Church opened in 1872, now a private residence.
Around the corner in Hillsboro St. is what appears to be a very old horse hitching rail possibly originally used to tether the parishioner’s horses while they attended the Sunday service.
