A telegraph station was established here in 1873, and is referred to in 1876 by the famous explorer Ernest Giles. Giles spells it "Cornamah" in his book, but "Carnamah" on his map. The main industry in the town is wheat forming with the town being a cooperative bulk handling receival site.
Carnamah is the principal town of the Shire of Carnamah.

Tourism has increased over the years in the area due to the wildflowers that bloom from August through to October, which led to the development of more accommodation and the Tourist Information Centre.
