Northam, Agricultural administrative center in Western Australia.
Northam stands at the meeting point of the Avon and Mortlock rivers, 60 miles northeast of Perth in Western Australia's Wheatbelt region.
Governor Sir James Stirling established Northam in 1833, naming it after a village in Devon, England, making it one of Western Australia's oldest settlements.
The Northam Migrant Accommodation Centre processed 30,000 European immigrants after World War II, transforming the demographic composition of the regional community.
The town connects major transportation routes, serving as a junction for the Great Eastern and Southern highways with multiple railway line intersections.
The Avon River pedestrian suspension bridge extends 117 meters across the water, maintaining the record as Australia's longest structure of this type.
