It is located {{convert|499|km|mi}} north of the state capital, Perth and {{convert|22|km|mi}} west of Northampton, the closest major town. In the {{CensusAU|2016}} Horrocks had a population of 138 people in 184 dwellings (63 occupied). Most of the dwellings are holiday houses. The population of Horrocks fluctuates depending on tourism, with the town at full capacity during school holidays and throughout the summer. During the census (Tuesday 9 August) 62% of dwellings were unoccupied (national average 11%).[1][2] The town was named after Joseph Lucas Horrocks, a convict who was transported to Western Australia in 1851 for forging and uttering. Horrocks received a conditional pardoned in 1856. He built a non-denominational and first church in Northampton.[3][4][5] References1. ^1 {{Census 2016 AUS|id=SSC50653|name=Horrocks (State Suburb)|quick=on|accessdate=25 April 2018}} {{Towns Mid West WA}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mainroads.wa.gov.au/Internet/Regions/touring_wa/distance_perth.asp |title=Main Roads WA - Distance from Perth |year=2008 |accessdate=2008-04-12 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080726115032/http://www2.mainroads.wa.gov.au/Internet/Regions/touring_wa/distance_perth.asp |archivedate=2008-07-26 |df= }} 3. ^{{Old Bailey|defendant=Joseph Lucas Horrocks|trialdate=7 April 1851|id=t18510407-848| accessdate =28 January 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web | url = http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/details/C11542198 | title = Medical journal of the Marion, hired convict ship from 21 October 1851 to 7 February 1852 | accessdate = 14 April 2012 | publisher = The National Archives, Kew}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/Western-Australia/Horrocks/2005/02/17/1108500208476.html|title=The Sydney Morning Herald - Horrocks|accessdate=2009-04-12 | date=2004-02-08}} 2 : Mid West (Western Australia)|Coastal towns in Western Australia |
