In 1895 gold was discovered in the area by prospectors and it was initially known as 25 mile, its distance from Coolgardie. The goldfields warden recommended that a townsite be declared in the same area. The town was also called Connanalling but the spelling was changed by the Lands Department when the town was gazetted in 1896.[1] By early 1898 the town had a population of 360 people,[2] and later grew to approximately 800 people.[3]

The ruins of a hotel and three chimneys still remain in the old townsite.
