Coorow is a town in the Mid West region of Western Australia, 264 kilometres (164 mi) north of Perth.

[3] After rapid growth through the early 1920s local settlers began to seek obtaining a hotel licence for the town in 1927.

[4] The licence was granted in 1929 to Alexander Gloster who put forward a tender of £1,750, and submitted his plans for approval.

[6] In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding.

[8] Roads were cut from washaways and the streets and flooded buildings were left deep in mud with some stock losses, mostly sheep, being reported.
