The town was established when the railway line was extended from Swan Hill to Piangil in 1915 passing some distance to the west of the established township of Nyah. A full Post Office opened here on 1 December 1917.[2] Nyah West Magistrates' Court was formally closed on 1 September 1982, having used a local hall rather than its own courthouse and not having sat for many years.[3]

At the 2011 census, Nyah West had a population of 552.[1] It is the business and commercial centre of a prosperous irrigation district which produces wine and dried fruit, as well as vegetables and wool.

The town in conjunction with neighbouring township Nyah has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Central Murray Football League known as Nyah-Nyah West United.[4]

Golfers play at the course of the Nyah West Golf Club on Yarraby Road.[5]

gollark: Yes. I have no idea why you are showing people this.
gollark: > haskell is the only language that enforces separation between computation and effectsReally? Don't PureScript and probably other derivatives/similar languages do that?
gollark: I'm thinking it could include actual formatting, Unicode, headers, that sort of thing. As well as possibly decent autogen scripts allowing each sentence to be given its own header saying "Section 1, Clause 8" or something, and maybe even JS to dynamically edit the text a bit as you scroll.
gollark: The current potatOS privacy policy viewer thing is literally just `edit`, and mostly quite bad, so I was thinking it might be a good idea to have it open in the browser instead.
gollark: You're their QA team.
