History

This cemetery was the original cemetery in the Manjimup Shire. It holds
the ancestors of the early white settlers of this district. There is a plaque
noting the names and dates of interment of the 19 people buried at the
cemetery. It is thought the other Balbarrup Cemetery was opened
because people thought the original burial place was too close to a water
course. The last burial notes were in 1926.
