Cunderdin today is mostly concerned with wheat and sheep production.
The town was gazetted in 1906 and the name may from the Aboriginal word quenda and may mean ‘place of the bandicoot’.
Another possible meaning for the name has been suggested as ‘hill in the mist’ and yet another source says it may mean ‘Big turkey’ but that is probably best ignored.
