European settlement in the Pemberton region began when Pemberton Wallcott took up grazing land in the area known as ‘Big Brook’ in 1862. In the early 1860s Edward Revely Brockman had established a pastoral station on the Warren in the present day Pemberton district . Prior to 1910 the area between Pemberton and the coast was occupied by some of the early grazing families who began to establish farms for cattle and horses. Pemberton townsite was settled in 1912 after the establishment of the State Saw Mill No 3. (It was only officially named Pemberton in October 1930. Other sources set this date at 1925 or 1927). The sawmills were to supply the sleepers for the Trans-Australian Railway. The timber industry which grew up provided extensive employment and accommodation was built for the workers and their families in Pemberton in the years that followed. The 1920s was a period of growth in Pemberton. Significant buildings sprang up in the main street, Brockman St, including the Mill Workers Hall, the School, the Pemberton Hotel, the Methodist Church, and the Picture Theatre. These are still intact today, and the main street precinct has high streetscape and heritage value. The present Tourist Bureau was originally the Pemberton School. Schooling was first conducted in the Mill Workers Hall, built in 1913, until a purpose built school was constructed in 1919. (A Heritage Council Assessment for the Mill Workers Cottage Precinct dates the opening of the school as 1922).
