In October 1836 the Surveyor General, John Septimus Roe, led an expedition to the east of the Avon Valley, in a search for pastoral land. Water was found only in the rock and gnamma holes and the soaks at granite hills. Roe contacted few natives, and gave few aboriginal names.

Koorda Nature Flora Reserve Located 16km north of town on the Mulji Road, features numerous species of wildflowers. There is a spectacular display from July to September when patches of red, pink, lavender, gold and blue add bright contrasts to the greens of the bush and farmlands.
