The name of the town first appeared on charts drawn in 1907, and was the Indigenous Australian name of a soak located close to the townsite.
The townsite was originally a railway siding on the Ejanding Northward railway and land was set aside for settlers in 1927. The townsite was gazetted in 1929.[2][3]
The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.[4]
