The town was originally designated as a business area through the
Commonwealth Government disagreed with the choice of name as another town with the same name already existed in New South Wales. The gazettal committee then chose the name Golden Ridge after the gold
mine of the same name that lies adjacent to the town and officially the name in 1911.
The Trans-Australian Railway built a station in the town in 1913–1914. Golden Ridge is the second station east of Kalgoorlie between Parkeston and Curtin.[2]
