HISTORY

Wagin was settled in the early 1880's on the Perth/Albany rail line and near the chain of lakes, which runs from Dumbleyung Lake and eventually drains into the Blackwood River. Early wealth, generated mainly by farming (wheat and wool) has left a legacy of significant early 20th century buildings.
