It is thought that the name of the settlement derives from two Aboriginal words: "nulla", meaning killing stick, and "wil", from "willock", meaning galah.^[2]

The railway came to Nullawil in March 1895, when the line was extended from Wycheproof to Sea Lake.^[3] Passenger services ceased in May 1977. The post office opened on 26 April 1897.^[4]
