Streatham is one of the earliest settlements established in the area covered by the current-day Rural City of
Ararat Council.
In the 1840s the site was known as Fiery Creek, after the waterway by which it is located, but was later named Streatham in 1852.
The main industry is agriculture, a variety of crops are grown, canola, lupins, wheat, oats, triticale and barley. Sheep, fine wool, meat, and cattle are also a product of the area.
In February 977, Streatham was partially destroyed by a bushfire. The Church,
post office, community hall, shops and eighty-one homes were all destroyed in the blaze.
