Rushworth is a township in Victoria, Australia. It is located 166km north of Melbourne and has a population of approximately 1,001. It was established during a gold rush in 1853 and was named, in 1854, by the poet and, then, local Goldfields Commissioner Richard Henry Horne. It is believed he named the town "Rushworth" because it was worth the rush to go to the town.[citation needed]
