Barmedman grew around the huge Barmedman station, owned by John Cartwright. Mining activities in the 1870s and 1880s brought the town population to an all-time high of almost 400, yet little was actually found.

The town is famous for being the site of a mineral pool which originated in the 1880s after the flooding of the Barmedman goldmines from an underground river. It has free admission and is said to have special healing powers. There are barbecues and picnic tables on the four hectare reserve that surrounds it.
