There are so many open mining pits on the edge of the townsite, its nothing short of a miracle Meekatharra hasn't subsided into a gigantic hole. In fact this almost happened to the Great Northern Highway just south of the town. The Surprise Mine had to close when an unexpected pit wall crack undermined the highway. Giving a new meaning to the mine's name, there was a fear motorists would suddenly find themselves at the bottom of the pit. The highway had to be re-built away from the mine, and it now travels through a mullock heap from the local mines here.
The town was established in 1894 when gold was discovered in the area, and began to boom when prospectors Meehan, Porter and Soich discovered major gold deposits around the town in 1896. Further major discoveries were made in 1899.
