Mount Edgar Station, often referred to simply as Mount Edgar, is a pastoral lease situated in Western Australia's Pilbara region. Originally operating as a sheep station, it has since shifted its focus to cattle grazing. The station is positioned approximately southeast of Marble Bar and southeast of Port Hedland, sharing a boundary with Yarrie Station.
The property was founded in 1890 by George Dudley alongside Alfred Howden Drake-Brockman. Under the management of Messrs Corboy and Company, Mount Edgar yielded its inaugural wool harvest consisting of 61 bales in 1903. By 1907, copper extraction activities had commenced on the land.
In 1908, W.J. Corboy, then proprietor, placed the station on the market. At that time, the estate covered , supported a flock of 6,000 sheep and a herd of 180 cattle, and was equipped with 10 wells fitted with windmills as well as of fencing.
A cyclone struck in 1925, inflicting considerable damage on the station’s facilities, including its windmills. Mount Edgar also played a role during the Pilbara strike of 1946; by 1949, enhanced labor agreements were established at both Mount Edgar and nearby Limestone stations, bringing an effective conclusion to the industrial action.
