Bolgart is a townsite north of Toodyay in Western Australia. It is in the Shire of Victoria Plains.
The town derives its name from a nearby spring. The spring was discovered and the name recorded by explorer George Fletcher Moore in 1836. The area was settled in the 1840s and one of the first settlers, J Scully, named his property Bolgart. The townsite was gazetted in 1909.
The name of the town is Aboriginal in origin and means place of water.
The town was struck by a magnitude 5.2 earthquake on 11 March 1952 followed by several aftershocks. The earthquake was felt as far away as Perth, where taller buildings were rocked.[1]
The reserves Drummond Nature Reserve and Bewmalling Nature Reserve are west and south west of this locality.The main industry in town is wheat farming with the town being a Cooperative Bulk Handling receival site.[2]
A railway line runs through Bolgart, which was the terminus of the Newcastle–Bolgart Railway before it was extended to Miling and became the Clackline–Miling railway.
The town also has a small agricultural museum housing a restored early twentieth century Marshall oil-fired tractor.
