Gold at Broad Arrow was discovered by Charles Reison in June 1893. It is 38 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie. Local folklore states the subsequent town and goldfield got its name, when Reison marked a large broad arrow where two camel tracks branched to direct his nephew, a new Irish immigrant to the spot, who was travelling later to the find from Kalgoorlie.
This story was repeated fairly early on in 1900. However one published article by a man who met Reison, claims he said he never made the mark. Others state it was prospector O'Meara or O'Mara who made the mark. Another states he was at a camp fire when Jim Reid first mentioned it as a possible name for the goldfield.
It needs to be stated the broad arrow symbol also relates to British government property, insignia on convict uniforms, markings on trees set for the axe, denotes Australian military property, survey markers, early explorer markers, and part of some British heraldic shields.
Reison's Reward lease amounted to little, and while there was a rush when he registered the claim in Coolgardie, it was several years before the alluvial patches turned into rich mines. Hill End, Golden Arrow and the Oversight were some of the richest close to town.
The local aboriginal tribe the Wanghalhaa called the place Kurawah, which it was initially known also by the prospectors. The town was gazetted as Broad Arrow in 1897. By 1900 there were 2400 people in the town itself, but far more in the surrounding district on the mines. By 1911 the population was 280. By the 1920's, the gold had run out and the town was largely abandoned.
Today the town contains a hotel built in 1900, and a couple of houses. The fact it has not disappeared off the map altogether like so many of these places in the goldfields, is probably that it is sited on a major road.
Charles Reison was later speared by aborigines near Darlot, his body, camels and baggage set on fire, and only his bones were recovered.
