Mount Kokeby, Western Australia

Mount Kokeby or Kokeby is a small town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, about 12 kilometres (7 mi) south of the town of Beverley towards Brookton.

The nearby Mount Rokeby was named by John Septimus Roe in 1835, but when a station on the Great Southern Railway was opened in 1889, it was incorrectly spelt Mount Kokeby.

In 1899 the government land agent in Beverley suggested blocks of land be made available adjacent to the station, and following survey a townsite was gazetted here in 1902.

The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.
