[edit] History

Named in the mid 1950s from the lake in the District. During the survey of the Jandakot Agricultural Area in 1889, surveyor James Oxley recorded the name of Lake Bangup. A siding on the Fremantle-Armadale railway line was named Banjupp in 1907 and this name was altered to Banjup in the 1930s.
