History
Boyagarra Estate was developed as a result of the Homestead Lands Purchase Act 1896 that permitted the original
land grants to be subdivided. Anglican services took place in Boyagarra from 1905. At a celebratory event in 1906, at
the Brookton Agricultural Hall, the Boyagarra Dramatic Club staged a one-act comedy. Boyagarra Schools are
recorded as School 1 from 1906-1917, and school 2 1917-1928. The school was utilised as the community hall and
saw a send off for the World War One locals, before it was moved (School 2)-not in the townsite.
