Tenterden is a town and locality located 328 km south-east of Perth in the Shire of Cranbrook in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.[2][3] The townsite is located on one of the sidings on the Great Southern Railway line. The siding was established in 1891 and shortly afterward the government made land available for agricultural purposes in the area. The town was gazetted in 1893 and is named after a town in Kent.[4]
