BENDIGO BUSINESS IN THE SPOTLIGHT



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Bendigo is a city that was built on gold during the famous goldrush period. Gold
was found in Central Victoria around 1840 but was a well kept secret until the
early 1850s. On June 19th 1871, Sandhurst was declared a city and Bendigo was
officially known as Sandhurst. Most locals refused to recognise the new name and
the popular name Bendigo was restored in 1891.

MORE BENDIGO HISTORY



Bendigo was originally named after a local prize-fighter nick-named Bendigo, who
took on his name from British boxer Abednego Thompson, well known at the time of
the 1852 rush.

This photograph (circa 1868) of the main street was taken before the fountain
was placed in Charing Cross. The building on left burnt down and was replaced
with Fountain Court. Although the City Family Hotel is still there today, the
whole area has recently undergone extensive changes to become a four storey
modern business complex, owned and operated by the Bendigo Bank.
