History

The railway line from Narrogin to Wickepin via Yilliminning was
opened in 1909, and the line through from Yilliminning to Kondinin via Kulin was proposed. In 1912,
the communities along the line to Kulin lobbied for a preferred route for the Railway line which was
being surveyed. On 15 March 1915 the railway line through to Kulin was taken over by the
Government and on 16 March it was officially opened and the first train rolled into Kulin.
The station-master was appointed in 1946-47 and housing was constructed at that time.
