The City of Busselton and the locality of Reinscourt are located on the traditional land of the Wardandi (also spelled Wadandi) people,[4][5] of the Noongar nation.[6]
The former Reinscourt Homestead was one of the earliest homesteads built in the area and belonged to the Bussell family.[7]
The locality is home to the state heritage-listed Chapman's Mill, the first commercial flourmill built in Western Australia, dating back to the 1850s.[8]
