History

Aubigny was at the centre of the Westbrook Homestead area. The town lots were offered for sale in the new town of Aubigny in December 1885, but only two lots were sold at that time, one to the Lutheran church and one to the Catholic church.[4] St John's Lutheran Church opened in 1886 and is still operational.[5]

The town was serviced by the Cecil Plains railway line between 1915 and 1994.
