Shay Gap was formally gazetted as a town in 1972. Shay Gap was named after a pass of the same name in the hills nearby. The name of the pass has been shown on maps since 1957, and it is believed to have been named after a blackbirder, Robert Shea, part-owner of the pearler Seaspray. Shea, along with his mate Samuel Miller, was killed in November 1872 by "absconding" indentured workers while on an expedition to Mukkine (now Muccanoo Pool on Muccan Station), on the De Grey River to "recover the services of some native divers who had broken faith with him".[1][2][3][4] Shay Gap was a company town, developed by Mount Goldsworthy Mining Associates to service nearby iron ore mines. The town was designed in 1970 by Lawrence Howroyd, for whom it won an Award of Merit in the 1974 Prince Philip Prize for Australian Design.[5] Iron ore production started in January 1973.[6][7][8] At its peak, the town had a population of over 850 people. Mining activities ceased on 10 December 1993 and the town was closed in February 1994. Buildings and structures were either sold, demolished or relocated to Yarrie.[9][10] References1. ^{{cite news | title = Presumptive murder of two white men by natives to the eastward, and other important intelligence | date = 22 February 1873 | url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article114441530 | work = The Herald |place= Fremantle, WA| page = 3 | accessdate = 11 Nov 2013}} {{Towns Pilbara WA}}2. ^{{cite news | title = Western Australia | date = 7 April 1873 | url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article8922228 | work =The Mercury | place = Hobart, Tas. | accessdate = 11 Nov 2013}} 3. ^{{cite book | last1 = Allbrook | first1 = Malcolm | last2 = Jebb | first2 = Mary-Anne | title = Hidden Histories: Conflict, massacres and colonisation of the Pilbara | publisher = Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies | url = http://www.aiatsis.gov.au/research/grants/docs/SummaryWangka.pdf | accessdate = 2013-11-20}} 4. ^{{cite news | title = Degrey River Murder | date = 9 May 1873 | url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article3756328 | work = The Perth Gazette and West Australian Times | page = 3 | accessdate = 5 March 2014}} 5. ^{{cite journal | title = Prince Philip Prize for Australian Design | journal = Architectural Science Review | date = 1974 | volume = 17-18 | page = 68 }} 6. ^{{citation | first1 = Iris | last1 = Iwanicki | last2 = Jones| first2 = David | contribution = Learning from Arid Planning and Design History and Practice: From Woomera to creating the new Roxby Downs Communities | title = Planning Institute of Australia 2012 National Congress 29 April – 2 May 2012| publisher = Planning Institute of Australia | place = Adelaide, South Australia | date = 29 April 2012 | contribution-url = http://www.planning.org.au/documents/item/3899 | type = pdf | accessdate = 18 Nov 2013}} 7. ^{{cite news | title = Production of Iron | date = 23 December 1972 | url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article110626892 | work = The Canberra Times | page = 14 | accessdate = 18 Nov 2013}} 8. ^{{cite news | first = Athol| last = Thomas|title = Oasis of Comfort | date = 9 June 1973 | url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article110713812 | work = The Canberra Times | page = 19 | accessdate = 18 Nov 2013}} 9. ^{{citation | first = R. | last = Hillis | contribution = BHP Iron Ore Protocol for Mine Closure | title = 1996 AusIMM Annual Conference, Perth | publisher = AusIMM | place = Perth, Western Australia | year = 1996 | type = pdf}} 10. ^{{cite news|last1=Wahlquist|first1=Calla|title=Flickers of life in West Australian mining towns even as iron ore's profits dim|url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/apr/21/flickers-of-life-in-west-australian-mining-towns-even-as-iron-ores-profits-dim|accessdate=8 May 2016|work=The Guardian|date=21 April 2015}} 6 : Ghost towns in Western Australia|Mining towns in Western Australia|Company towns in Australia|Pilbara|Populated places established in 1972|Populated places disestablished in 1994 |
