The Boddington area was settled in the mid-1860s and grew slowly to become well known for its wool and wheat production. The town itself was gazetted in 1912 (it was named after a local shepherd, Henry Boddington) when the railway line arrived in the district to meet a demand which had been created by the local timber industry.
