The town was gazetted in 1898,[2] when the population of the town was 160 (140 males and 20 females).[3] Its central feature was the Rock Hotel roadhouse (also known as Rock Tavern), which closed around 2015.[4] Bullabulling is also the location of a reservoir which forms part of the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme. From here, the water gravitates (i.e. moves without pumping) to Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie.[5]
In 1996, Bullabulling was registered as a place of cultural heritage significance.[6]
