Darlington, within the shire of Mundaring, has always been a popular place for people to escape the
Perth city with a nice drive up the escarpment and lovely picnic areas. Early on it became popular with writers and artists but the Railway Reserve
Heritage Trail is the most
well-known recreational part of the area, being popular with both walkers and cyclists.
Darlington developed as a locality from the establishment of the
Darlington Winery in the late nineteenth century but was an unplanned settlement.
Darlington had extensive orchards during the First World War. Guest houses were also used as convalescent homes during the Second World War. In the mid twentieth century significant numbers of artists had lived in or been associated with the small community. By the late twentieth century subdivisions of land and the breakup of farms and orchards contributed to an increase in the local
population.
