Dardanup West is a rural locality of the Shire of Dardanup in the South West region of Western Australia.[2][3]
Dardanup West is located on the traditional land of the Noongar people.[4][5] The word "Dardanup" is believed to be a variation of the Aboriginal word Dudingup, the meaning of which is unknown.[6]
The locality is home to the heritage listed Dardanup Park Homestead, which dates back to 1852. Originally built by Thomas Little, a pioneer settler, it was later home to Harry Venn, Western Australian Minister for Railways.[7]
