Tenterden
Tenterden is a town located 328 km south east of Perth in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.
The townsite was one of the original sidings on the Great Southern Railway line. With its good rainfall and mild temperatures, Tenterden made for perfect sheep country. The area was originally settled in the 1860s when pastoralists started grazing sheep in the area.
The town was originally named Round Swamp, however that was changed when the town was officially gazetted in 1893.
