Yalgoo is an Aboriginal name first recorded for Yalgoo Peak by the surveyor John Forrest in 1876 . The name is said to mean "blood" or "place of blood", derived from the word "Yalguru". An alternative view is that it is derived from the Yalguru bush which abounds in the area, and has blood red Sap . It was once the location of an important railway station on the Geraldton to Meekathara railway line. Yalgoo importance declined after the forging of an all weather road between Wubin and Paynes Find during the Post WWII era across Lake Moore. Yalgoo is also a local government area in Western Australia . Station Names associated with Yalgoo Note that some of these stations may lie outside of the local government boundary.
