Statement of Significance
The precinct demonstrates the development of the town and a way of life.
History
Settlers from the Quairading railhead reached in 1908, spread to the Babakin area as the Quairading area continued to develop. In 1914, town lots were alienated and surveyed, but not constituted as a townsite proper. The school was constructed in 1914, in close proximity to the railway siding and opened in 1915. The Babakin Farmer's Co=op, which no longer exists, was formed in 1918 and the private store, also built in 1918, continues to operate as the Babakin Store. The hall was built in 1918 and replaced in 1945 after it burnt down.
