Westralian Farmers Co‐operative Limited was founded on 27th June 1914. It resulted from three years of intense discussion by members of the Farmers' and Settlers Association of Western Australia on their political and economic futures in Western Australia.
Stanley Bruce, Prime Minister of Australia through most of the 1920s, disparagingly called Westfarmers a 'bunch of pirates'. Competing companies used rhyming slang to refer to the company as 'snake charmers' (Foreword and Introduction)
