Pantapin in a small town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.
The town originated as a railway siding that was planned in 1912 as part of the Quairading to Bruce Rock line. The town was initially named Ulakain, after a nearby well, and was gazetted under that name in 1914.
The name proved problematic and was changed in 1921.[2]
