The Shire of Murray and the locality of Etmilyn are located on the traditional land of the Pindjarup people of the Noongar nation. [5] The Pindjarup language is now considered extinct but the Noongar people remain present in the region. [6]

Etmilyn was once a watering stop of the Pinjarra to Narrogin railway until it closed in 1958. The line to Etmilyn was eventually restored as part of the Hotham Valley Railway and continuous to operate today. [7]
