Nabawa
The townsite of Nabawa is located in the northern agricultural area, 41km north east of Geraldton and 466km north of Perth.
It is the principal town in the Shire of Chapman Valley. Nabawa derives its name from Nabawar Pool, a pool in the Chapman River first recorded by a surveyor in 1857. This Aboriginal word is said to mean "camp far away". Although originally spelt Nabawar, the current spelling of Nabawa has been used since 1872. When the Upper Chapman railway was opened in 1910, a siding was opened near the pool and named Nabawa. The railway closed in 1961, but the Shire of Chapman Valley moved its administrative headquarters to Nabawa in the mid 1960s , and in 1965 a townsite was declared.
