Origin of the name

The name honours William Crossman of the Royal Engineers, who arrived in Fremantle as a second lieutenant stationed in Perth in 1852, but was responsible for works in the Albany district and for roads in the area. In 1853, in company with surveyor Шаблон:Thinspace Gregory, Crossman examined and reported on various routes between Perth and Albany, and recommended that the then-current routes via York and Bunbury be replaced by a straight line between Kelmscott (now a Perth suburb near Armadale) and Albany. After serving as colonial magistrate, he returned to England in 1856 and later was promoted to captain and served as a British Member of Parliament for Portsmouth. The Crossman River, a Шаблон:Convert tributary of the Hotham River, was most likely named by Gregory in 1853.[3][4]

Present day

Crossman Wildflower Reserve, a year-round sanctuary for flora and fauna, is home to a wide range of native orchids.

Crossman is a stop on the Transwa bus services to Albany (GS1) and Esperance (GE1).[5]
