Things that Trouble Me When I Should be Sleeping

How did the town in north Central Victoria known as Yea get its name?

It's obviously a town that sprung up out of necessity to the farmers and possibly miners (I don't know much about the history of the area). But did it reach a point when those in charge were like, "Right, this place is no longer a place for passing travellers to spend the night. It's a town now, and we need to give it a name, yea or nay?"

A chorus of "Yea!" from everyone.

"Right, what should we call it then?"

No response.

"Right, well, tomorrow we'll come up with a name for the new town, yea or nay?"

"Yea!"

And because no one could come up with a name someone decided to just name the town Yea in honour of the fact that they always said "Yea!" to naming the town "tomorrow" ... which, if that's the case Victoria could've had a town called Tomorrow instead of Yea.

Either that, or they were smoking something funky and thought that naming a town Yea would be extremely hilarious and made it official before they sobered up.
