Sheep and grain producing area north east of Perth. It began as a station on the railway line between Mullewa and Wongan Hills and was gazetted as a town in 1914. Benedictine monks from New Norcia grazed sheep on the nearby pastoral leases they had taken up and the first settlers followed in 1907 to develop the lands for cropping. In 1910 it was opened for selection and first crops were planted shortly after.
