History


The railway line opened in 1893 and a station was established in the late 1890s. A townsite to support local settlers was gazetted in 1912.[1][2]

Little development occurred as the town is situated so close to Waroona and Wagerup. The name of the town comes from a nearby brook of the same name, first recorded by a surveyor in 1889. The name of Yorlup appears in earlier maps and was recorded as early as 1833.[3]
