Lennonville is a derelict town in Western Australia near the town of Mount Magnet, established in 1898.[1]
Lennonville was gazetted in 1896, after gold having been found two years earlier at the location by prospectors Lennon and Palmer.[1]
At the peak of its existence, at the turn of the 20th century, the town had a population of 3,000 and five hotels, outperforming nearby Mount Magnet and Boogardie. By 1909, however, the town was already in decline and, after a huge fire swept through the main street of the town, a general exodus begun. Today, the most predominant reminder of the towns former glory is the railway platform.[2]
