The area, inhospitable land on the western edge of the Great Victoria Desert, was first explored by Europeans when John Forrest travelled through the area in 1869 searching for the remains of the Ludwig Leichhardt expedition.
The last major mine in the area was closed in 1957 and it seemed that Laverton was heading for ghost town status when, in 1969, nickel was discovered at Mount Windarra, 28 km northwest of the town.
