History

Kellys Plains was named after an early settler in the area.

The Kellys Plains Public School is a small school that was established in 1863. The school students are now divided into two classes: kindergarten to year 2, and year 3 to year 6.

On 3 February 1883 the Kellys Plains railway station opened and was closed on 20 February 1975.[2] Kellys Plains Post Office opened on 1 April 1884 and closed in 1945.[3]

St John's Anglican Church original timber building was built in 1896 at Kellys Plains and consecrated in 1897. In 1923 it was replaced by the present brick building. Several members of the Perrott family were buried in the churchyard prior to the construction of the 1923 church and their headstones are the only surviving ones.[4]

The Kellys Plains-Dangarsleigh Country Women's Association meets once a month in the CWA Rooms, Dangarsleigh Road.

Current population of the area is negligible and would be included with that of Dangarsleigh which is about 4 km away. There many small properties and lifestyle blocks in the area with their occupants commuting to nearby towns for work.

gollark: Plus the fact that TJ09 ignores 90% of things then just makes some slightly relevant comment on a random thread somewhere.
gollark: Oh, plus it being significantly easier to just say "use wants as haves" instead of adding a have box.
gollark: It took lots of people complaining and several weeks to change the rules of the hub to something remotely sane, and they're still broken and you don't even get told why you're banned.
gollark: I suspect it was just accidentally mistyping a number.
