Dixvale, Western Australia
Dixvale is a rural locality of the Shire of Manjimup in the South West region of Western Australia.
The locality of Dixvale, like most of the Shire of Manjimup, is located on the traditional land of the Bibulman people of the Noongar nation. The local school was opened 6th November 1922, and closed 10th May 1946.
Two heritage listed sites exist in the locality, the Tobacco Farm Group and the Glenview Tobacco Farm, both from a time when tobacco farming was an extensive enterprise in the Manjimup area.
The heritage listed Dixvale Hall, or Dix Vale Hall, is located in Balbarrup, to the east of Dixvale. It dates back to the 1920s and was constructed as part of the Group Settlement Scheme in the area.
