The name is taken from Bateman Road, named after the Bateman family. The name of 'Bateman' is that of a well known Perth merchant firm. The company began business in 1857, but the family arrived in the colony on the Medina in 1830. John Bateman built a store in Fremantle dealing in merchandise of many kinds and became postmaster at Fremantle in 1833. He also took part in the establishment of a whaling business at Fremantle, and after his death in 1855, his sons took over the family business and formed a company in 1857.
