A little bit of history 

For many thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers, Noongar Aboriginal people were the traditional custodians of the land that is now referred to as Kojonup.

The town is named after kodj, a Noongar name for a stone axe.
 
Alfred Hillman discovered Kojonup Spring in 1837. Following the arrival of settlers that year, Kojonup became a military outpost and an important staging place on the road to Albany. Over the next century, Kojonup evolved into a contemporary farming community.
