==History==
The town was established along the old Hume Highway and the highway now bypasses the outskirts of the town. The Post Office opened on 2 June 1858. It is frequently stated as having been named for a village in Gloucestershire by Henry Kent Hughes. The name "Avenel" also appears in Sir Walter Scott's ''Tales from Benedictine Sources'': ''The Monastery'' (1820) and ''The Abbot'' (1820) as the name of a castle and family. Hughes settled there in 1838, laid out the future town, and named the Hughes Creek, which flows through it.〔James Smith (editor) ( The cyclopedia of Victoria (illustrated): an historical and commercial review, descriptive and biographical, facts, figures and illustrations : an epitome of progress, Volume 3. Cyclopedia Co., 1905 ). p.447〕
