The 2016 population was 362.[1] HistoryGreenbushes was founded as a mining town in 1888 following a surveyor's discovery of tin in 1886.[2] Greenbushes was named after the bright green bushes that contrasted against the grey eucalyptus trees.[3] The railway from Donnybrook to Bridgetown opened in 1898, with Greenbushes station located approximately six kilometres north of the main townsite.[3] The area surrounding the train station was renamed North Greenbushes to reduce confusion.[3] The town experienced a period of economic boom until the international price of tin slumped in 1893, which caused the Greenbushes industry to collapse.[2] By 1913, approximately one quarter of Greenbushes' inhabitants were working in the timber industry, which was established shortly after the first mine.[2] IndustryGreenbushes' two major industries are mining, producing tantalite concentrates, lithium minerals, tin metal and kaolin; and timber milling.[4] Agriculture, viticulture, tourism and art galleries are also part of Greenbushes' industry.[4] The Greenbushes mine, located to the south of the town, has produced lithium concentrate since 1985.[5] References1. ^1 {{Census 2016 AUS |id=UCL522025 |name=Greenbushes (L) (Urban Centre/Locality) |accessdate=27 May 2018 |quick=on}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news |first= |last= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Travel: Greenbushes |url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/Western-Australia/Greenbushes/2005/02/17/1108500208455.html |work= |publisher=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=8 February 2004 |accessdate=2008-01-15 }} 3. ^1 2 {{LandInfo WA|c|G|2008-01-15}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.bridgetown.wa.gov.au/our_community/business_and_industry.html |title=Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes: Business and Industry |accessdate=2008-01-15 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514225253/http://www.bridgetown.wa.gov.au/our_community/business_and_industry.html |archivedate=2013-05-14 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.talisonlithium.com/projects/greenbushes|title=Greenbushes Lithium Operations}} External links
