[4] The name Moojebing is an Aboriginal word, believed to be derived from the nearby Moojebup Spring, first recorded under that name in 1874.

The meaning of the name is not known, but may be connected with "moodjar" or "muja", the Noongar word for the WA Christmas tree, Nuytsia floribunda.

[3] Moojebing was one of a number of townsites established in the early 1890s, when the WA government opened up a lot of land in the Katanning area.

It straddled the Great Southern railway, which had opened in 1889, and was also close to other townsites at Katanning, Woodanilling and Pinwernying.
