Benjaberring is a small town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia located in the Shire of Wyalcatchem. The name of the town originates from the Aboriginal name of a nearby water source. The name of the area first appears on charts in 1846; the town site was first declared as Benjabbering in 1910, but the spelling was changed to Benjaberring in 1911 to more accurately reflect the correct pronunciation. [2] In 1927 - the wheat statistics were showing over 2,000 tons annually for the years 1924/1925, and 1925/1926. [3]

In 1932 it was the location of a railway siding and was one of five bulk grain receival locations that was the beginning of the Cooperative Bulk Handling organisation now known as the CBH Group. [4]
