History
The town was surveyed by Frank A. Gorringe on 14 December 1899 and gazetted as a town on 10 February 1900.[1]
Bundock is named after horse breeder Wellington Cochrane Bundock (1812-1898).[4] In 1863, Bundock formed a partnership with Walter Hayes to graze cattle on the Richmond Downs pastoral run (the origin of the town of Richmond).[5][6]
