History
editThe larger eastern part of the Shire of Katanning, up to Katanning itself and including Coyrecup, is located on the traditional land of the Koreng people.[4][5] The smaller western part, west of Katanning, is located on the traditional land of the Kaneang people, with both being of the Noongar nation.[6][7][8]
Coyrecup was once a siding on the Katanning to Pingrup railway line. The siding opened in 1912, under the name of Wurnup, was renamed to Coyrecup in 1922 and closed for good in 1985.[9][10]
The historic Holland Track passes through Coyrecup, following the Katanning-Nyabing Road, on its way to Coolgardie.[11][12]
