Quajabin is this mountain's Noongar Aboriginal name, which predates European settlement, and is derived from the word quabin, meaning "good camp".
[4] Although not high, it offers an impressive view over some of the upper catchment of the Avon River and also of the Yenyenning Lakes, taking in points of seven shires: Beverley, Brookton, Pingelly, Corrigin, Quairading, Kelleberrin and York.
[7] Today these counties have been divided up into local government areas known as shires.
[8] The area was first settled by Europeans in 1898 by the pioneering McLean brothers Kenneth, Donald Jr., John and Thomas.
[9] The McLean brothers cleared land in the area, selecting their land including County Peak, using as their guide tree lines indicating rich, fertile soil as payment for their labour.
