In 1898, it was centred on the town of Southern Cross and included several other settlements along the Eastern Goldfields Railway, such as Yellowdine.[1] At the 1930 election, the district was amalgamated with the neighbouring district of Coolgardie to form the new district of Yilgarn-Coolgardie. Sitting member Edwin Corboy transferred to the new seat.
