While Mandurah and the Peel Region were settled by Englishman Thomas Peel in 1830, the first people known to have inhabited the Mandurah area were Aboriginal people of the Bibbulmun Nation.
The Estuary was a main source of food for them and they had a superior knowledge of living off the land, which abounded in fish, game, berries and fruits. The locality was then known as Mandjar, which translates to 'meeting place'.
