The plaque commemorates the centenary of the gazettal of the Cunderdin townsite from May 1906 to May 2006.

Like many small towns in the area, Cunderdin developed as a stop-off town during the gold rush in the WA Goldfields Significantly in 1894 the railway arrived signalling the earliest settlement in the town.  In 1901 the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme, designed by C.Y. O`Connor, led to a renewed increase in population of the town. The townsite was gazetted in 1906.
