Minden is a town and district situated on part of the original Tarampa run which was taken up by Charles Cameron in 1847. In the Pastoral days the site was generally referred to as "Back Plain". A receiving office called "Rosewood Scrub" was opened there in 1878 but the names was changed to "Minden" in 1879, after the town of Minden in the Kingdom of Westphalia in north-western Germany. Many of the early agricultural selectors in the Minden district (Shire of Esk) were German Immigrants.
