The Post Office opened on 22 February 1875 as Karkarooc and was renamed Rupanyup in 1876.[3]

The town used to be in the Shire of Dunmunkle but was allocated to the Shire of Yarriambiack when Victoria's municipalities were re-organized in the 1990s. The Bolangum railway line included a station at Rupanyup from 1887 in Gibson Street, until the line closed in 1983.

The town has an Australian rules football team competing in the Horsham & District Football League.[4]

Golfers play at the course of the Rupanyup Golf Club on Frayne Avenue.[5]

The town has art in the Silo Art Trail which also includes Sheep Hills, Brim, Rosebury, Lascelles and Patchewollock.
