The winner of several past “Tidy Town” awards, it is often referred to as the “Jewel Of The Southwest” HistoryPrior to European settlement the area was occupied by the Gunditjmara Aborigines.[2] David Edgar built the Bush Tavern on the townsite in 1842 and a settlement emerged. Formerly known as Fitzroy Crossing it became known as Edgar's. The township was surveyed in 1852 by Lindsay Clarke who named it after Heywood, Wiltshire in England. The first town allotments were sold in 1854 and a Post Office opened on 8 August 1857.[3] Heywood has won many Tidy Town awards. {{Citation needed|date=July 2008}} DemographicsAt the 2006 census, Heywood had a population of 1,287.[4] SportThe town has an Australian rules football team, the Heywood Lions, which until 2011 competed in the Western Border Football League.
