sheffield

Tiny farming settlement between Darfield and Springfield on State Highway 73, 9 km south-east of Springfield. Sheffield sits where the inland Highway 72 crosses the main road west. Its pub remains, but the once prominent railway station and goods shed have been removed.

Meaning of place name
The name was given by John Jebson after his birthplace, Sheffield in Yorkshire, England. Jebson was the first to work the lignite deposits in the area, and subdivided his land for a township.
