At the Korumburra had an urban population of 3,639. Surrounded by rolling green hills, the town is above the sea level of coastal Inverloch, about away.
Established around 1889, the town's prosperity grew for many years based on coal mining, which lasted until around 1962. A coal-miners' strike affected the town in 1937, during the Depression years.
