History & geography

History

European settlers moved to the area in 1869 to take up pastoral leases for farming. In 1894, the government built a narrow gauge railway line from Geraldton to Mullewa and the town was gazetted in the same year. The town is named after Mullewa Spring, whose name is based on an Aboriginal name recorded by surveyor John Forrest in 1873. The meaning of the name is not certain, but the most accepted meaning is "place of fog".
