Mobrup

History

Mobrup and the Shire of Kojonup are located on the traditional land of the Kaniyang people of the Noongar nation. The former Mobrup Pioneer Memorial Hall and the Furniss Homestead are both listed on the shire's heritage list. The Mobrup Pioneer Memorial Hall was built in 1959 but demolished in 2000. The Furniss Homestead was originally called Mobrub and gave its name to the locality. It was built by Frederick George and Emily Margaret Furniss, who established the property in 1909. The Furniss Homestead was a central meeting place for the district and served as telephone exchange, church and polling station.
