Traditionally a market garden area producing a large amount of the region's fruits and vegetables, in recent decades it has transformed into the main commuter town on the Melbourne–Ballarat corridor.
It was named after the colonial settler Captain William Henry Bacchus, who saw the great value of this locality as it was situated on two rivers – the Lerderderg and Werribee.
