The Eticup Memorial commemorates the little settlements' rise and decline in the 1880's. Located outside Mrs D Dennis' fence on the Broomehill/Kojonup Road, the plaque shows the location of the settlement's stores, Inn, blacksmithy's and houses.
Eticup was a thriving settlement with two stores , an Inn, two blacksmiths, a Church/schoolroom and resident's houses. The settlement declined when the Great Southern Railway passed 6km to the east and most of the town's businessmen tranferrred thier various trades to Broome Hill, the siding which became a town. The settlers at Eticup included the garritys, Krakouers, Carmodys, Tylors, Rogers, Nelsons, rown, Whittons and various landholders on surrounding properties. The settlement also has a cemetary which is believed to have around 30 people buried there.
