The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.[3] It also serves as a stop on the Prospector and MerredinLink rural train services. HistoryThe first European to settle in the area was John Packham in 1893. The railway to Southern Cross was constructed through the area in 1894-95, and Tammin was one of the original stations when the line opened in 1895. As the surrounding area developed for agriculture, there was sufficient demand for land in the area for the government to declare a townsite, and Tammin townsite was gazetted in 1899. Tammin is an Aboriginal name derived from the nearby Tammin Rock, a name first recorded by the explorer Charles Cooke Hunt in 1864. The rock possibly derives its name from the "Tammar", the Aboriginal name of the "Black Gloved Wallaby" which was once found in this area. Another source records it as possibly meaning "a grandmother or a grandfather". The local Agricultural Hall was opened in 1911 by the Minister of Agriculture.[4] In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding.[5] Rail servicesTranswa's MerredinLink and Prospector services stop at Tammin, at least one service each day.[6][7]{{s-start}}{{s-rail|title=Transwa}}{{s-line|system=Transwa|line=Avonlink|branch=East Perth – Merredin|previous=Cunderdin|next=Kellerberrin|rows1=2}}{{s-line|system=Transwa|line=Prospector|previous=Cunderdin|next=Kellerberrin|hide1=yes}}{{end}}References1. ^{{Census 2016 AUS|id=SSC51420|name=Tammin (State Suburb)|quick=on|accessdate=20 March 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tammin.wa.gov.au/|title=Shire of Tammin Website|year=2006|accessdate=14 September 2008}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.cbh.com.au/media/120302/cbh%20receival%20sites%20-%20contact%20details.pdf|title=CBH receival sites|year=2011|accessdate=1 April 2013|format=PDF|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318082458/https://www.cbh.com.au/media/120302/cbh%20receival%20sites%20-%20contact%20details.pdf|archivedate=18 March 2012|df=dmy-all}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article26343477|title=Country|newspaper=The West Australian|location=Perth|date=22 June 1911 |accessdate=2 October 2013|page=5|publisher=National Library of Australia}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article32560140 |title=Country elevators |newspaper=The West Australian|location=Perth|date=6 July 1932|accessdate=6 April 2013|page=10|publisher=National Library of Australia}} 6. ^AvonLink Timetable (PDF) 7. ^Prospector Timetable (PDF)
