The first white people to live in the Morwell area were the squatters of four cattle runs, their families and employees. These four squatting stations were

Hazelwood, established in 1844
Maryvale, established in 1845
Merton Rush, established in 1846
Scrubby Forest, established in 1848

All four cattle stations were ranged along the Morwell River, three on the eastern side and Merton Rush on the western side.

Hazelwood Station had an area of 25 square miles. The first lease holders were Albert Eugene Brodribb and William Bennett, who had married Brodribb's sister, Lavinia Ann Hasell Brodribb. Hazelwood was named after |Mrs. Hasell Bennett, and Maryvale was named after the Bennett's eldest daughter, Mary Bennett, then a little girl of ten. It is thought that Yinnar, which is an aboriginal word meaning "woman" was so-called because Hazel (Brodribb) Bennett was the first white woman to live in this area. The Bennetts, 1844-1860 were succeeded by John MacMillan. The MacMillan family held the Hazelwood estate until 1919, when it was acquired by the Government for Soldier Settlement. http://www.morwellhistoricalsociety.org.au/squattingstations.htm
