The name Narrogin is said to have originated from the Aboriginal word ‘gnargijin’ meaning place of water and is named after a large pool on Narrogin Creek. (Other sources quote the meaning as ‘place of bats’ or ‘plenty of everything’.) The earliest use of the name Narrogin seems to have been applied to an inn established in the foothills at Armadale, currently named ‘Ye Olde Narrogin Inne’.
Gnarojin Park
Gnarojin Park is a unique picnic and recreational parkland alongside the Narrogin Brook, in the heart of Narrogin. It was created in 1992 as part of the celebrations of the centenary of local government in Narrogin.
Gnarojin Park won the 1992 National Award for its special approach to park development, using arts, local culture and history in shaping the built environment.
