==History== The station was established on Anmatyerre tribal land at the beginning of the 20th Century. The Chisholm family owned Napperby Station "on and off" from 1948 till 2017.<ref name="NTG" /> The anthropologist T.G.H. Strehlow visited the station on his first fieldwork trip in 1932 to record songs and Anengkerr (dreaming) stories from the elder Friday Mpetyan.
Non-exclusive Native title was granted by the Federal Court of Australia to the Anmatyerr and Arrernte people over Napperby Station in 2013 by consent. Both claims were first filed in 2005 after mining leases were granted in the area. The Central Land Council submitted new applications for native title rights over the whole pastoral lease in 2011.<ref>{{cite news| last1=Brain| first1=Caddie| title=Native title recognised over NT cattle stations|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-02/native-title-pastoral-stations/4793804|accessdate=28 August 2016|agency=ABC Rural|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|date=2 July 2013}}</ref> The court sat at the small local community of Laramba.<ref>{{cite web | title=Native Title recognition at Napperby Station | website=Central Land Council | date=2 July 2013 | url=https://www.clc.org.au/native-title-recognition-at-napperby-station/ | access-date=12 September 2021}}</ref>
