Roelands is a town located in the South West region of Western Australia along the South Western Highway, between Brunswick Junction and Bunbury.
The name Roelands relates to a property of the same name granted to the Swan River Colony’s first Surveyor General in 1830, John Septimus Roe as part of the 5,000 acres (2,023 ha) to which he was entitled for bringing considerable capital to the colony. Roe spoke highly of the area and its potential value for agriculture. The first pastoralists and shepherds arrived in the area in the 1880s seeking improved pasture for their stock.
