Mount Lindesay and the Shire of Denmark, according to the shire's website, are located on the traditional land of the Bibulman and Mineng people of the Noongar nation.[5] The Mineng's traditional lands cover the majority of the shire while the Bibulman's traditional lands are to the west and, according to other sources, do not extend into the Shire of Denmark.[6][7][8]
Despite its name, the heritage listed Mount Lindesay School Group 101, a one-teacher school from the Group Settlement Scheme era of the region, is located in neighbouring Scotsdale and not Mount Lindesay. It operated intermittently from 1926 to 1943, initially as the Group 101 School, until renamed to Mount Lindesay School in 1940.[9]
