}}Woodend North (traditionally North Woodend) is a locality 4 km north of Woodend, Victoria in the Shire of Macedon Ranges in central Victoria, Australia. Formerly a distinct locality, Woodend North has effectively become the northern extension of the township of Woodend. The locality is now a mainly residential and agricultural area, with some light secondary industrial sites. At the {{CensusAU|2006}}, Woodend North had a population of 313.[1]

History

Woodend North was originally known as Springfield, supposedly in reference to natural springs in the area.[2] The name seems to have been changed due to postal confusion with another Springfield office near Romsey.

The settlement formerly consisted of the Post Office, State School, a general store, a blacksmith, and Patterson's (flour) Mill,[2] all of which are now closed. Further, Woodend North featured three licensed hotels, the Springfield, Highland Chief and Dalhousie.[2] The Post Office opened as Springfield on 11 November 1862, was renamed Woodend North on 8 September 1884, and closed on 31 January 1958.[3] The former Woodend North State School remains standing as a privately owned residence.
