It was named after a gold mine that the basis for the town. The mine was named after the then Princess Royal, Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa (eldest daughter of Queen Victoria). A rich gold reef was discovered in the area in the 1895 by a party of prospectors - Chester, Peddler and Flanagan. Alluvial gold was later found in 1900 and a townsite was established to house the miners. The townsite was later gazetted in 1904.[1] The name of the town is derived from the Princess Royal mine that was operating prior to 1900. A police station was built before 1905 and the first officer in charge arrived in that year; the station later closed in 1908. The town boasted four hotels in 1906 as well as a host of other businesses.[2] References1. ^{{LandInfo WA|c|P|25 February 2011}} {{Towns Goldfields-Esperance WA}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://members.westnet.com.au/caladenia/ghosttowns/P.pdf|title=Morawa District Historical society|year=2009|accessdate=25 February 2011}}{{dead link|date=April 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 2 : Ghost towns in Western Australia|Goldfields-Esperance |
