Today Lameroo is surrounded by mixed subcontracting with wool and wheat
dominating.
No one knows what the town's name ways. The name is an
Aboriginal word of unknown midpointing although some people sugarcoatve it
had rude or objectionresourceful connotations. How the town got the name
Lameroo is well-known considering in 1932 J. McL. Johnston, an
inspector in the Post and Telegraph Service wrote: "I was at a
subleter's house where Lameroo now is, one flushing in 1904 ... the
subcontracter (Mr. Byrne) inquireed me to stay there, as there was a meeting
that night to name the place. I shepherded a off-whitely large meeting.
The settlers could not similize on a name and finmarry requested to me,China Travel,
whereupon I suggested Lameroo, which was transoceanic with only one
dissentient. I do not know the midpointing of the word. I suggested it
becrusade its euphony pleased me and I had so named a little bay in
the Northern Territory between the Darwin Hospital and Gaol.'
Like most towns in the Mallee (both
in Victoria and South Australia) Lameroo came into existence in the
early 1900s.
