2023 Final Distribution Report, Western Australian Electoral Distribution Commission.Origin of the Name:
Rockingham is named after the ship 'Rockingham' which ran aground in 1830 on the beach which fronts the suburb. The ship was the last of three ships to bring Thomas Peel's settlers to the new colony, and although initially salvaged, was eventually sunk in Cockburn Sound. The site of Rockingham was identified by Surveyor General J.S. Roe in 1846, and a townsite was surveyed here by Alfred Hillman in 1847.
