The town is in the Bland Shire local government area and on the Mid-Western Highway, {{convert|526|km|mi}} west of the state capital, Sydney, and {{convert|100|km|mi}} north east of Griffith. At the {{CensusAU|2011}}, Weethalle and the surrounding area had a population of 307.[1] The name "Weethalle" is said to be an Australian aboriginal word for drink.[2] HistoryThe Weethalle area was set aside as homestead farms for returned soldiers in 1921.[3] The Rankins Springs railway line was extended to Weethalle in 1922.[4] Land clearing commenced and by 1923 the first wheat from the area was delivered to the Weethalle railway station.[5] By 1924, a site was surveyed for a village to service the surrounding farms with town allotment sales taking place the following year.[6][7] A "skeleton" town was in existence by 1926, with "buildings in all states of construction" and "built mostly of wood".[8] In the same year, a provisional school was established along with a branch of the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney.[9][10] An observer in 1928 described the growth of Weethalle as "remarkable" with the town having "sprung up in the night".[11] In that year, a new hotel was built at a cost of £13,000. The hotel was the newest addition to a town that also boasted a bank, "2 stores ... butchers, bakers, hairdresser and tobacconist, several agents, a school, a doctor, a dance and picture hall, and a tri-weekly rail service."[11] GalleryReferences1. ^1 {{Census 2011 AUS|id=SSC12450|name=Weethalle (State Suburb)|accessdate=2 April 2015|quick=on}} 2. ^{{NSW GNR|id =SXIOjzsyan|title = Weethalle|date = 25 August 1995|accessdate =14 January 2014}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article119955803 |title=ORIGINAL HOMESTEAD FARMS. |newspaper=Narandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser (NSW : 1893 - 1953) |location=NSW |date=2 August 1921 |accessdate=14 January 2014 |page=1 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article116189116 |title=BARMEDMAN R.S.
