The Midland Railway Company constructed a railway siding in 1895 when the Midland to Walkaway line was opened. The town's name comes from a well that was named by the explorer Andrew Forrest when he surveyed a property for Edmund King who settled there in 1866.
The Coomberdale Hall, a timber framed, weatherboard clad structure with a corrugated iron roof, was built in about 1920. It is now heritage listed, and used as an adjunct to the adjoining community centre.
