Dartnall is a rural locality of the Shire of Broomehill–Tambellup in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The Great Southern Highway and the Great Southern Railway form the far western border of the locality.[2][3]
The west of the Shire of Broomehill–Tambellup is located on the traditional land of the Kaniyang people of the Noongar nation,[4] while the east of the shire, including Dartnall, is located on the traditional lands of the Koreng people, also of the Noongar nation.[5][6]
Dartnall was a siding on the Tambellup to Ongerup railway line, the siding opening in 1912 and closing in 1967. The railway line run through the locality from west to east.[7][8] The site of the Dartnall railway siding is now on the shire's heritage list.[9] In 1920, land around the Dartnall siding was also reserved for a potential townsite.[10]
