The suburb of Esperance is on the traditional land of the Njunga people of the Noongar nation. The Njunga were previously part of the Wudjari Noongar, but separated from them[when?] for cultural reasons.[4][5][6][improper synthesis?]
The suburb is home to a number of State heritage listed places, the Dempster Homestead, the Bijou Theatre and the RSL Building, which also includes the war memorial and the Norfolk pine trees.[7]
