MANJIMUP HISTORY
Birthplace of the Pink Lady apple, Manjimup’s name comes from the Noongar Aboriginal words “Manjin”, (a broad-leafed edible reed) and “up” (meeting place, or place of). Declared a town in 1910, with a railway introduced a year later, Manjimup was chosen for the purpose of boosting rural economy by opening up more land for agriculture. With timber as tall and impressive as the trees that exist in Manjimup, it’s not hard to see how it succeeded as a timber town. Today, Manjimup gives you flashes of its typical timber town ways with the installation of the Timber Museum and re-use of the old railway line.
