Maya is a small town in the Mid West region of Western Australia.
The town's name is a result of the shortening of the Indigenous Australian word for a nearby spring, Pocanmaya. The name was first recorded by surveyors in 1876.
The town originated as a railway siding on the Mullewa to Wongan Hills railway line that was planned in 1913. The townsite was gazetted in 1913 and the railway commenced operation in 1915.[1]
In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding.[2]
The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.[3]
