Needilup is a town in the Great Southern Region of Western Australia that is situated between Ongerup and Jerramungup along the Gnowangerup-Jerramungup Road.
The establishment of a town arose after a local member petitioned the lands department for land to be made available for a townsite in 1951 after settlement in the area lead to a demand for land. Lots were surveyed soon afterward and the townsite was declared in 1954.[1]
The name is Aboriginal in origin and the meaning is unknown. The name is taken from the nearby Needilup River that was first surveyed in 1901 and spelt in a variety of ways.
