The first European to settle in the area was Thomas Peel and the region is now named in honour of him. The city's name was derived from the local Aboriginal word 'mandjar' which means 'meeting place'. On December 15, 1829, 169 settlers arrived in the area to take up the available 250 000 acres reserved for the town.
In 1850 the town was connected to Perth by a coastal road and by railway in 1893. By the 1950s, Mandurah was nothing more than a tiny fishing village but the establishment of an alumina refinery at nearby Pinjarra in the early 1970s aided the towns growth. Today, the city is one of the fastest growing in the state, as multi-million dollar resorts and housing estates take advantage of the spectacular Harvey Estuary and Peel inlets.
