The Aboriginal name Buraja means ‘a swamp with young trees growing.’ When people settled in the Buraja district in the 1860s there were two parishes – Lowes and Buraja. The name Lowes (Lowesdale) was taken from one of the owners of ‘Buraja Station,’ a local farm.[2]

The small town of Burrajaa or Burryjaa or Burryja, was spelt in a variety of ways in various newspapers between 1900 and 1950, with the most recent spelling of the town being settled as - "Buraja".

History edit

There was a Burryjaa Station, situated near Corowa, with an area of 26,000 acres, was initially owned by Mr. W F Martin in 1857. The property was later auctioned in March, 1876. [3]

The earliest reports of a hotel in Burraja was in 1876, when the license changed hands.[4] Then in 1877 a Publican's License was approved for the Burraja Hotel.[5]

The first recorded race meeting was in May 1878, with five races on the Queen's Birthday meeting [6] and they used to be held at the paddock next to Mrs Darby's Hotel, Lowesdale.[7]

A new brick hotel building was commenced in 1911 on behalf of Licensee, Mr. S.R.E. Loveridge.[8] The new hotel building was opened in 1912.[9] [10] The hotel was delicensed in 1999 apparently.[11]

The Burrajaa Football Club was first established in 1894.[12] Buraja FC and Hopefield FC merged in 1950 to form the Hopefield Buraja FC. Then in 2006, Coreen Daysdale FC & Hopefield Buraja FC merged to form the Coreen Daysdale Hopefield Buraja United FC.
