Elabbin is a small town between Merredin and Mukinbudin in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.
Originating as a railway siding on the Dowerin to Merredin railway line when constructed in 1912. A demand for land was created by the growth of farming in the area and the town was gazetted in 1913.[1]
Additional agricultural land was opened to selectors in the district close to town in 1917.[2]
