Nangeenan was officially recognized as a townsite in 1905.[2]
It has a local hall which was built in 1912.[2] It has been in use since around the time of World War I.[3][4] During the same era, Nangeenan was the site of a "state farm",[5] a term used at the time for a research station of the WA Department of Agriculture.[6]
