Alcoa commenced mining at Jarrahdale in 1963, marking the birth of the Aluminium industry in Australia. The first mine pit was at the Jarrahdale site now known as Langford Park. Ore mined from Jarrahdale was transported by rail to Alcoa’s Kwinana Alumina Refinery and in the first year of operation 48,750 tonnes of bauxite were mined and transported to Kwinana. Mining ceased in 1998. (www.Alcoa.com)
