The town takes its name from the Dalyup River that is situated adjacent to the town. The name is Aboriginal in origin and thought to be the Noongar word for the king parrot or hookbill. The townsite was gazetted on 18 May 1962, although there had been agricultural settlement in the area since 1896.
