Map of Gutha WA 6623, Australia
In 1913 it was decided to establish a train station there, on the Wongan Hills – Mullewa railway. The district surveyor suggested the name "Muthingutha", the Aboriginal name of a nearby rockhole. This was shortened to Gutha by the Lands Department, and Gutha siding was established in 1913. It was gazetted as a townsite in 1914.
The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.
