Benjaberring is a small town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. The name of the town originates from the Aboriginal name of a nearby water source. The name of the area first appears on charts in 1846; the town site was first declared as Benjabbering in 1910, but the spelling was changed to Benjaberring in 1911 to more accurately reflect the correct pronunciation.[2] In 1927 - the wheat statistics were showing over 2,000 tons annually for the years 1924/1925, and 1925/1926.[3]
