History

The locality takes its name from the nearby town of Gowrie. The town takes its name from a pastoral run which was named pastoralists Henry Hughes and Frederick N. Isaac, who initially called the property Stanbrook, but renamed it Gowrie in 1847.The name Gowrie is probably a corruption of cowarie, Aboriginal name for Gowrie Creek, which in turn possibly means freshwater mussel.StJ Jude's Anglican church was dedicated on 20 July 1900 by Bishop William Webber. The church was on the main road overlooking the valley of Glencoe. The church was 30 by 18 feet (9.1 by 5.5 m) with a vestry 8 by 10 feet (2.4 by 3.0 m), and a porch 6 by 6 feet (1.8 by 1.8 m). It was built by L. P. Petersen. Its last service was held on 9 March 1951.
