It is in the Shire of Victoria Plains. The town derives its name from a nearby spring. The spring was discovered and the name recorded by explorer George Fletcher Moore in 1836. The area was settled in the 1840s and one of the first settlers, J Scully, named his property Bolgart. The townsite was gazetted in 1909.[2] The name of the town is Aboriginal in origin and means place of water. The town was struck by a magnitude 5.2 earthquake on 11 March 1952 followed by several aftershocks. The earthquake was felt as far away as Perth where taller buildings were rocked.[3] The reserves Drummond Nature Reserve and Bewmalling Nature Reserve are west and south west of this locality. The main industry in town is wheat farming with the town being a Cooperative Bulk Handling receival site.[4] GalleryReferences1. ^{{Census 2006 AUS|id= SSC53221 |name= Bolgart (State Suburb)|quick=on|accessdate=18 April 2011}} 2. ^{{LandInfo WA|c|B|8 June 2007}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://aees.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Historical-Earthquakes-in-Western-Australia.pdf|title=Historical Earthquakes in Western Australia|author=Kevin McCue|publisher=Australian Seismological Centre, Canberra ACT|accessdate=10 November 2018|date=March 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.cbh.com.au/media/120302/cbh%20receival%20sites%20-%20contact%20details.pdf |title=CBH Receival Sites - Contact Details |year=2010 |accessdate=31 March 2013 |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 }} See also
