Sheep Hills was the name of a farm operated by Archibald McMillan in 1847. The population boosted in the mid-1870s when many migrants, mostly German and Scottish, began farming in the area. The district was named Bangerang (the name of a Lutheran school) and Tarkedia (the name of a State school). In 1886 the railway from Minyip was extended to Warracknabeal, and many settled around the station, forming the township under the name of Sheep Hills.

As of 2016, Sheep Hills has a cricket, a golf and a tennis club.{{cite web |url=http://yarriambiack.vic.gov.au/about-yarriambiack-council/community-directory/sheep-hills/ |title=Yarriambiack Council {{!}} Sheep Hills |website=yarriambiack.vic.gov.au |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100608124652/http://www.yarriambiack.vic.gov.au/about-yarriambiack-council/community-directory/sheep-hills/ |archive-date=2010-06-08}} Also in use is the Sheep Hills Town Hall.
