The townsite of Wubin is located in the northern agricultural region, 272 km north north east of
Perth and 21 km north of
Dalwallinu. Wubin was originally approved as a siding name on the proposed Wongan Hills to
Mullewa railway line in April 1913, land also being set aside and a townsite gazetted the same year. The first lots in the townsite were sold in June 1914, and the railway line opened in 1915. Wubin derives its name from the Aboriginal name for a nearby water source, Woobin
Well, first recorded by a surveyor in 1907. The spelling Wubin was adopted to conform with spelling rules for Aboriginal names adopted by the Lands & Surveys Department.
Wubin flourished like most farming towns during the post WWII era, during that time an all weather road was constructed across
Lake Moore to
Paynes Find substantially reducing travel times north to the mining areas in the Murchison and
Pilbara regions. It is this road, now part of the Great Northern Highway, that is now the economic heart of the town.
