Situated approximately {{convert|39|km|mi|0}} west of Laverton and {{convert|72|km|mi|0}} east of Leonora in the Goldfields-Esperance region. The property adjoins Mount Crawford Station.[1] Gold was being mined at leases named Korong on the Mount Margaret goldfields in 1898.[1]The station was established at some time prior to 1914 and was breeding sheep at this time but not heavily stocked as a result of insufficient rain.[2] In 1926 the property was supporting a flock of 5,000 sheep.[3] The homestead burnt to the ground in 1928 following a fire that started in the kitchen. The stations managers wife, Mrs Williams, was the only one home when the fire started.[4] The station manager, Mr Williams, was a shareholder in the pastoral company that owned Korong. The property was running about 7,000 sheep at this time, despite it being a dry year.[5] By 1935 the property was running a flock of 12,000 sheep and shearing produced 250 bales of wool.[6] Koorong, along with neighbouring Mount Crawford, were owned by Hugo Green in 1947, Green had acquired the property from the Mount Crawford Pastoral Company.[7] In 1948 both properties had a combined flock of 12,000 sheep.[8] See also
