The first Europeans to explore the Katanning area were Governor James Stirling and Surveyor General John Septimus Roe who travelled through the area in 1835 en route from Perth to Albany.
In about 1870, sandalwood cutters moved into the area but they did not settle. It was not until the arrival of the Great Southern Railway from Perth to Albany in 1889 that the township came into existence.
An earthquake was centred just south of Katanning at 8.00am 10 October 2007. The Earthquake measured 4.8 on the Richter scale as is rated as the largest earthquake in the region for four decades.
Katanning features a unique playground of over-sized structures such as this slide. It is aptly named the "All Ages Playground".
