The town's name is Aboriginal in origin and is the local name for the area. The town was gazetted on 9 September 1903.[1][2] While in planning, the name of Vosperton was proposed in honour of the editor of the Coolgardie Miner, Frederick Vosper, who became the MLA for North-East Coolgardie in 1897. The planned boundaries and area of the town were changed in 1900.
