It was once a thriving and successful gold mining town, known
originally as Kurawah it is said that Broad Arrow changed its name in 1893
because a prospector, having found gold in the area, marked the route to
the spot with a series of Broad Arrows.
Like so many gold towns Broad Arrow experienced a spectacular boom and
an equally spectacular bust. The gold rush started in 1893, the railway
arrived (from Kalgoorlie) and the town was gazetted in 1896, and the
following year the municipality of Kurawah came into existence.
