West Coolup is a rural locality of the Shire of Murray in the Peel Region of Western Australia, located on the eastern shore of the Harvey Estuary.[1] [2]
The Shire of Murray and the locality of West Coolup are located on the traditional land of the Pindjarup people of the Noongar nation.[3] The Pindjarup language is now considered extinct but the Noongar people remain present in the region.[4]
West Coolup was settled relatively late compared to neighbouring localities, with a local school opening in 1899. In 1911, West Coolup Hall was opened as the focal point of the local community. The hall, now heritage-listed, has been the home of the Peel Districts Pistol Club.[5]
