Narngulu is an outer suburb of the Western Australian city of Geraldton, and is for the most part an industrial area.
In the 1890s the town was known as Mullewa Junction as it was where the Cue railway line met the Midland railway line, and the name was gazetted in 1903. By 1905, the town was starting to become confused with Mullewa further east, and the Commissioner of Railways asked for the town to be renamed. The name Crowther, after a local merchant, was objected to by the Postmaster-General's Department, as there was a town named Crowther between Cowra and Young in New South Wales. The name Narngulu, meaning "to remember" in a local Aboriginal dialect, was chosen in 1906.
Greenough Regional Prison open here[1] in 1984.
The Narngulu line has required upgrading due to tonnages carried on the line as early as the 1950s.[2]
The location is part of proposed rail corridors to the Oakajee Port developments, which to date have not eventuated.The Australian Railroad Group currently operate a large rail yard at Narngulu, known as either Narngulu Rail Maintenance facility, or Narngulu East Rail Depot.[3] [4] [5]
