The town of Taragoro (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.) which was located about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) south-east of the town of Rudall on the route of the Eyre Peninsula Railway was proclaimed on 30 July 1914 and was declared to "cease to exist" on 4 February 1960. The former town whose site is located within the locality of Rudall is reported to be named after an Aboriginal word for "small black cormorant."[13][14][15][16]
