DAVYHURST is a Goldfields town that is situated south west of Menzies, Western Australia and is approximately 120 kilometres (75 mi) northwest of Kalgoorlie.

The proposed townsite was initially declared "Davyston" in 1900.
Also known as Mace's Find and Davyton.

Warden OWEN of Menzies advised the Department the town was better known as "Davyhurst". This was the name used when the town was gazetted in 1901. It is believed to be named after a miner


Davyhurst Station
John Patrick FITZPATRICK was the first holder of Pastoral Lease 2156/102 of 13,000 acres. It was probably in the vicinity of Mulwarrie, where JP Fitzpatrick was the publican at the Mt Higgins Hotel. It seems that the land covered by this lease was later included as part of Davyhurst Station. The unfortunate John Patrick Fitzpatrick declared himself bankrupt in 1905. His widow, Bridget Teresa Fitzpatrick (nee WALSH) later took over the lease.
