The History Board was erected with funding from the Lions Club of Healesville to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of Healesville.
The creation of a railway to the more distant Gippsland and Yarra Valley goldfields in the 1860s resulted in a settlement forming on the Watts River and its survey as a town in 1864. It was named after Richard Heales, the Premier of Victoria from 1860–1861,
