Photographs supplied by Stephen Warren

The gates commemorate the pioneers of Tintinara.

The area was first settled by Europeans in the 1840s when graziers moved their flocks of sheep into the district. Shortly afterwards the 'Tintinara' homestead was erected by the brothers T. W. Boothby and J. H. Boothby, who held a lease of 427.348 square kilometres there. In 1865 the new owners, William Harding and George Bunn, built a 16-stand shearing shed which is now classified by the National Trust, along with the homestead.

The Tintinara Wells and Reedy Wells were regular watering points for Tolmer`s gold escort team. Tintinara post office was opened in the 1860s.
