The town is located {{convert|325|km|mi|0}} south east of the state capital, Perth and {{convert|111|km|mi|0}} north of Albany on Chester Pass Road. At the 2006 census, Borden and the surrounding area had a population of 164.[1] The town was established as a siding on the railway line between Gnowangerup and Ongerup and is named after Canadian Prime Minister Robert Laird Borden.[2] The railway opened for business on 6 January 1913 and closed on 13 October 1957.[3] The area near Paper Collar Creek near where the town stands was a meeting point for sandalwood cutters in the 1840s fow when they used to head to the port at Albany.[4] In 1916, {{convert|250|acre|ha}} of land was set aside for a townsite. Although the site had not been surveyed J.G. Jenkins had already erected the first building containing dwelling, dining, refreshment and assembly rooms. Another man, J. Copeland was also constructing a building at this time. A telephone connection with Gnowangerup had also been established and mail was being received twice a week by train.[5] The local Agricultural Hall, constructed of Jarrah and cast iron, was opened in 1928 by the Minister of Lands, Mr. Michael H. Troy. Local members Mr. H. Stewart MLC and Mr. C. Wittenoom MLA were also present.[6] The main industry in town is wheat farming with the town being a Cooperative Bulk Handling receival site.[7] The receival bins are able to handle {{convert|170000|t|long ton|0}} of grain during harvest times.[4] In 2017 the receival site was inundated with floodwaters following a heavy rain event.[8] The harvest had been a new record so that large amounts of grain were stored in overflow bins.[9] References1. ^1 {{Census 2006 AUS|id=SSC53246|name=Borden (State Suburb)|accessdate=1 July 2008|quick=on}} {{Towns Great Southern WA}}{{WesternAustralia-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.albanygateway.com.au/town/Borden/ |title=Albany Gateway - Borden |accessdate=30 June 2008 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071016231945/http://albanygateway.com.au/Town/Borden/ |archivedate=16 October 2007 }} 3. ^The Ongerup Branch Milne, Rod Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, May, 2002 pp163-170 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.albanygateway.com.au/towns/borden/|title=Borden|accessdate=29 December 2017|publisher=Albany Gateway}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article157475965 |title=Borden. |newspaper=Gnowangerup Star And Tambellup-ongerup Gazette |volume=1, |issue=28 |location=Western Australia |date=12 February 1916 |accessdate=29 December 2017 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article70188474|title=Borden's New Hall.|newspaper=Albany Advertiser|location=Western Australia|date=17 July 1928|accessdate=1 October 2013|page=1 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 7. ^{{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 }} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-02-14/floodwaters-inundate-cbhs-grain-receival-site-at/8270152|title=Floodwaters inundated CBH's grain receival site at Borden|date=14 February 2017|accessdate=29 December 2017|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://thewest.com.au/news/wa/floods-hit-co-op-grain-shipments-ng-b88385135z|title=Floods hit CBH grain shipments at crucial stage of season|author=Nick Butterly|work=The West Australian|publisher=Seven West Media}} 3 : Towns in Western Australia|Great Southern (Western Australia)|Grain receival points of Western Australia |
