Statement of Significance
The Nampup soak has great historical significance to the settlement and development of the Shire of Kent as it was the location of the first land grant in the area, and associated with two of the first settlers.
Physical Description
Marked by a large granite rock that was placed on site by the shire, which is to become a memorial for the site.
History
In 1876 Henry Haywood and John O'Flaherty were granted land around the Nampup Soak - Nampup being the original name for Nyabing. In 1904 the Nampup (Nyabing) Soak was officially recorded by Surveyor F M Bee, and in 1912 the soak was gazetted and name changed from Nampup to Nyabing.
