History
Narrogin was established as a town in 1897, though there had been scattered settlements in the area since the 1830s. There were poor returns from the farming of sheep and wheat, so farmers resorted to selling sandalwood cutting, which was used as a tanning agent. The town was a major railway centre until the 1970s when passenger trains ceased running through the town.
Lifestyle and Entertainment
The town is a centre for health and education services, serving those who live in nearby regional areas. The Old Court House Museum is a major attraction for tourists, and its building was a school until 1905. The Narrogin Leisure Complex is home to outdoor and indoor pools, a gymnasium, and a cafe.
