History
Waaia was established in the late 1880s to cater for the increasing rural population of the surrounding area following the opening of the railway line in October 1888,[3] and a Post Office opened on 17 December that year.[4] The rail line closed in 1986.[3]
The town consists of a school (established 1890), a hotel and an Australian rules football ground (the town has a team in the Picola & District Football League), along with around 10 houses.
Waaia is home to an annual tractor pull, organised by the local community action group.[5]
