The town originated as a railway siding that was planned in 1912 as part of the Quairading to Bruce Rock line. The town was initially named Ulakain, after a nearby well, and was gazetted under that name in 1914.

The name proved problematic  causing mail and goods to go missing, according to the residents  and was changed in 1921.[2]
