The first European to discover the river was the explorer George Grey on 11 April 1839, on his second disastrous expedition along the west coast. He named it after the distinguished English cartographer John Arrowsmith.[5] The river commences just south of Arrino and north-west of Three Springs near the Midlands Road and flows in a westerly direction for a length of {{convert|85|km|mi|0}} to the coast and terminates in Arrowsmith Lake, {{convert|9|km|mi|0}} inland from Cliff Head. The river drops a total of {{convert|219|m|ft|0}} in elevation over the course of its length. Flooding in surrounding areas occurred in 1932 following a torrential downpour that caused the river and surrounding creeks to rise and flood a few hours later.[6]The salinity levels in the river are often higher than 1000 mg/L due to brackish run-off water, but the potential bore yields of the catchment are quite high.[7] References1. ^{{LandInfo WA|r|A|11 October 2008}} {{Rivers of Western Australia}}{{coord|29|36|6|S|115|6|55|E|type:river_region:AU-WA|display=title}}{{WesternAustralia-river-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://maps.bonzle.com/c/a?a=p&h=66801&i=554&j=554&nudge=1&x=115%2E743019198397&y=%2D29%2E5655417765825&c=1&p=205231&w=66801#map|title=Bonzle Digital Atlas – Arrowsmith River|year= 2006|accessdate= 11 October 2008}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://kumina.water.wa.gov.au/waterinformation/wrdata/FLOW/701005/mtl.htm|title=WA Department of Water – Water Resources Data – Streamflow Sites – Arrowsmith River – Robb Crossing|year= 2008|accessdate= 11 October 2008}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.agric.wa.gov.au/objtwr/imported_assets/content/lwe/regions/nar/tr315.pdf|title=West Midlands Hydrology Project|year= 2003|accessdate= 12 October 2010}} 5. ^{{cite book | last1 = Grey | first1 = George | title = Journals of two expeditions of discovery in North-West and Western Australia, during the years 1837, 38, and 39, describing many newly discovered, important, and fertile districts, with observations on the moral and physical condition of the aboriginal inhabitants, etc. etc. | volume = 2 | publisher = T. and W.
