The locality of Linfarne, like most of the Shire of Manjimup, is located on the traditional land of the Bibulman people of the Noongar nation.[4][5][6]
Linfarne, originally called Linfarn, was established as part of the Group Settlement Scheme in the 1920s as part of Group 79 Settlement. The locality once was the site of a small school, which had 14 pupils in 1944.[7] By 1949, the school had been closed, the building removed and the land of the former school was for sale.[8][9]
