Wyndham was established as a port to land prospectors heading for the Halls Creek goldfields in the 1880s. Later, at the turn of the century, beef from pioneer cattle stations in the East Kimberley was shipped from the port and a meatworks built in 1919 was a major industry until it closed in 1985.

Today, Wyndham (population 1000) is the State's northernmost town and a major port exporting grain, lead and zinc from the Cadjebut Mine and cattle and produce grown on the irrigated land around Kununurra.

Telegraph Hill offers uninterrupted views of the area around Wyndham. This is the site where the telegraph station used to stand during World War I and II, which helped sink the German ship, Emden. All that remains on the top of the basalt hill now are some of the ruins from the house that used to stand on the site.
