The eponymous hill, which is in the Whicher Range near the source of the Vasse River, was named after the Chapman brothers, early European settlers in the Busselton area.[2][3][4] In the 1920s the area was settled by Group 40 of the Group Settlement Scheme; a memorial to the settlers is on Chapman Hill Road.[5] Chapman Hill contained a signal station during World War II.[6] Cattle-farming is a major industry in the area.[7]
