History
The name Narrikup comes from the Aboriginal name of a nearby brook which is thought to mean "place of abundance".
The area was visited by Thomas Wilson who travelled from Albany in 1829 when he camped on the banks of the stream west of the current townsite.
The town is located on the Great Southern Railway line which was completed in this area in 1889, although initially the siding was named Hay River.
