**Hay County** was one of the 26 [counties of Western Australia](/source/Counties_of_Western_Australia) that were designated in 1829 as [cadastral divisions](/source/Lands_administrative_divisions_of_Western_Australia). It was named after [Robert William Hay](/source/Robert_William_Hay), [Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies](/source/Under-Secretary_of_State_for_the_Colonies) from 1825 to 1836. It approximately corresponds to the southeastern [Kojonup Land District](/source/Kojonup_Land_District) and northern [Plantagenet Land District](/source/Plantagenet_Land_District) which form the basis for land titles in the area.[1]
