It lies on the Brand Highway adjacent to the Badgingarra National Park. HistoryThe town was gazetted in 1955 and takes its name from nearby Badgingarra Pool. "Badgingarra" is a Noongar word said to mean "water by the manna gums".[2] The district was originally surveyed in the 1880s; however due to the widespread presence of poison plants in the area and the soil types, the land was not developed for agriculture. Little settlement occurred until the 1950s, when the use of trace elements such as zinc and copper in fertilisers allowed for farming to occur on the sandy soils around Badgingarra. In 1955, sufficient population growth had occurred for the gazettal of a townsite to support the settlers. In 1959 the state government established the Badgingarra Research Station, to assist farmers in the development of their enterprises. In 1965 a primary school was established, initially operated in the community hall before a new school was built and opened in 1968. Commercial areaToday, Badgingarra contains a primary school, tavern and post office, roadhouse and other businesses. It has several recreational facilities at its Community Centre including tennis courts, a bowling green, a football oval, a golf course, parks and playgrounds. The planned development of the Brand Highway {{convert|7|km|mi|0}} west of the Badgingarra townsite spurred the people of Badgingarra to resolve to shift the townsite so as to lie on the Brand Highway. Natural disastersA large bushfire swept through the area in 2010, burning out 19 farms and over {{convert|10000|ha|acre|0}} of farm land. At least 1,700 head of cattle were lost along with sheep, crops, a sandalwood plantation and fences.[3] The town was lashed by storms in 2012, receiving {{convert|50|mm|in|1}} of rain in less than an hour, accompanied by driving winds and a large amount of hail, which served to destroy crops and transform the area into a "winter wonderland".[4] Climate{{Weather box|location = Badgingarra |metric first = Yes |single line = Yes |Jan record high C = 46.9 |Feb record high C = 46.0 |Mar record high C = 43.3 |Apr record high C = 40.5 |May record high C = 35.2 |Jun record high C = 27.2 |Jul record high C = 26.0 |Aug record high C = 27.7 |Sep record high C = 34.6 |Oct record high C = 38.8 |Nov record high C = 42.2 |Dec record high C = 44.3 |year record high C = 46.9 |Jan high C = 34.6 |Feb high C = 34.7 |Mar high C = 31.9 |Apr high C = 27.2 |May high C = 22.5 |Jun high C = 18.8 |Jul high C = 17.6 |Aug high C = 18.2 |Sep high C = 20.5 |Oct high C = 24.5 |Nov high C = 28.5 |Dec high C = 32.0 |year high C = 25.9 |Jan low C = 17.1 |Feb low C = 17.8 |Mar low C = 16.4 |Apr low C = 13.6 |May low C = 10.6 |Jun low C = 8.4 |Jul low C = 7.2 |Aug low C = 7.1 |Sep low C = 7.6 |Oct low C = 9.4 |Nov low C = 12.4 |Dec low C = 15.0 |year low C = 11.9 |Jan record low C = 6.9 |Feb record low C = 7.8 |Mar record low C = 5.3 |Apr record low C = 5.0 |May record low C = 1.0 |Jun record low C = -0.1 |Jul record low C = 1.3 |Aug record low C = 0.1 |Sep record low C = 0.5 |Oct record low C = 0.4 |Nov record low C = 1.7 |Dec record low C = 4.0 |year record low C = -0.1 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 11.2 |Feb precipitation mm = 14.9 |Mar precipitation mm = 16.6 |Apr precipitation mm = 27.1 |May precipitation mm = 69.0 |Jun precipitation mm = 97.0 |Jul precipitation mm = 102.0 |Aug precipitation mm = 83.9 |Sep precipitation mm = 50.1 |Oct precipitation mm = 27.2 |Nov precipitation mm = 19.1 |Dec precipitation mm = 9.3 |year precipitation mm = |Jan precipitation days = 2.5 |Feb precipitation days = 2.7 |Mar precipitation days = 3.5 |Apr precipitation days = 6.7 |May precipitation days = 11.3 |Jun precipitation days = 14.1 |Jul precipitation days = 16.4 |Aug precipitation days = 15.0 |Sep precipitation days = 12.4 |Oct precipitation days = 8.2 |Nov precipitation days = 5.6 |Dec precipitation days = 3.1 |year precipitation days = |humidity colour=green |Jan humidity = 29 |Feb humidity = 28 |Mar humidity = 30 |Apr humidity = 38 |May humidity = 50 |Jun humidity = 57 |Jul humidity = 62 |Aug humidity = 60 |Sep humidity = 60 |Oct humidity = 47 |Nov humidity = 33 |Dec humidity = 31 |year humidity = 44 |source 1 = [5] |date=September 2018 }} Notes1. ^{{Census 2011 AUS|id= SSC50027 |name= Badgingarra (State Suburb)|quick=on|accessdate=28 December 2012}} 2. ^{{LandInfo WA|c|B|25 March 2007}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/rural/content/2010/s2786005.htm|title=Badgingarra Fires|date=5 January 2010|accessdate=19 March 2013|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/local/photos/2012/11/02/3624693.htm|title=Hail transforms the Midwest into a winter wonderland|author=Arthur Muhl|date=2 November 2012|accessdate=19 March 2013|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation}} 5. ^{{cite web| url = http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_009037_All.shtml| publisher = Bureau of Meteorology |title = Climate statistics for Badgingarra|accessdate = 16 September 2018}} References
