Eganstown is a rural village on the Midland Highway, 7 km south-west of
Daylesford.The area was occupied for pastoral purposes in 1840, and in 1847 James Egan acquired the pastoral lease and named the run 'Corinella'. Egan subsequently discovered the first gold at
Daylesford. The village which developed near Corinella was known as
Deep Creek, however, and was not renamed Eganstown until 1881.There are several springs in the vicinity: the Brandy Hot (named after a gold field) and
Deep Creek, north of Eganstown, Golden Wattle and Corinella to the east, and the Eganstown spring south of the village.
