The townsite of Donnybrook,
located 210 km south of Perth in a predominantly fruitgrowing area,
was gazetted in 1894. The area was first settled around 1842 when
George Nash and others took up land here and named the place "Donnybrook"
after the suburb of Dublin, Ireland from where they came. The eastern
portion of this townsite was formerly known as Minninup.
