The Four'N Twenty Meat Pie was invented in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia by LT. McLure in 1947. The pie is enormously popular in Australia. Strong demand for the pie saw production grow from 50 pies per day in 1948 to 50,000 pies per hour in 1998.^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}

McLure took a sampling of his pies to the Royal Melbourne Agricultural Show where they proved very popular. Increasing demand for the pie caused McLure to eventually open a Melbourne bakery in a pavilion of the showgrounds, later moving to bigger premises in nearby Ascot Vale several years later.

The Four'N Twenty Meat Pie is Victoria's best selling meat pie. It is considered tradition to consume a Four'N Twenty Meat Pie at an Australian Rules Football match.
