How was Nathalia named?
Long-time locals say that the town was named after the Queen of Serbia, possibly because some of the early settlers migrated from that country. Translation of Queen Natalie in Serbia resulted in Nathalia. Although this can’t be confirmed, it’s a popular belief and a great story.
