Darradup and the Shire of Nannup are located on the traditional land of the Bibulman and Wardandi people of the Noongar nation.[4][5][6]
The locality is home to two heritage-listed buildings, Darradup House and Darradup School.[7] The original building of Darradup House dates back to 1868 but was thought to have been demolished in 1951 after storm damage and a new house constructed. Later investigations however established that at least some of the existing structure dates back to before 1900.[8] Daradup School is located south of the house, on the southern side of the Blackwood River, and dates to 1900.[9]
