Named after John Menzies, an early settler in the district. On 5 Dec  1904, the station was renamed "Aura" after the estate of the then Shire President, Mr. R. Kerr. The estate was named after a mountain in Ireland, and the name is said to mean "beautiful". The Post Office was never renamed and the station was renamed back to "Menzies Creek" on 1 July 1947.
