The toponymic origins of Frankston are subject to conjecture, and of which there are four popular theories. One of the earliest of these theories (published in the Victorian Historical Magazine in March 1. Europeansettlers, Frank Liardet,[2][1. The Liardets were prominent pioneers of early Melbourne and arrived aboard the William Metcalfe from England in 1. Liardet's father, Wilbraham, founded what is now the Melbourne inner suburb of Port Melbourne and the family established and managed hotels around Melbourne as well as the first mail service of the early township.[1. Frank Liardet settled in the Frankston area in 1. Frankston locality of Karingal.[2.

During this time, Liardet built the first wooden house in the Frankston area—which would later become part of his Ballam Park estate after the formal land sales of 1. Prior to settling in the area, Liardet had also worked on the cattle run of the first Postmaster of the Port Phillip District,[2]Captain Benjamin Baxter, which was located over what are now the City of Frankston suburbs of Langwarrin and Langwarrin South.[2. By the time Liardet had taken out his depasturing license for the Frankston area in 1. Considering Frank Liardet's early presence in the Frankston area, and his connections to the early mail services of Melbourne, it is plausible that "Frank's Town" became nomenclature for describing the area and its unofficial village. As a consequence it is possible that the name of "Frankston" was further adapted from it when officially naming the village for its formal land sales in 1. However, in a letter to the editor of The Argusnewspaper (published on 3. Showtime Full The Grand Budapest Hotel Online Free. May 1. 91. 6) a member of the Liardet family said that this was in fact not true.[1.

In the letter was excerpts of correspondence between the Liardet family and the Victorian state Department of Lands and Survey which refuted the theory.[1. Instead, it puts forward the theory that Frankston was named after the Irish- born settler Charles Franks; who was the first European to be killed by Indigenous Australians in Melbourne.[1. Charles Franks arrived in Melbourne aboard the Champion from Van Diemen's Land in 1. Port Phillip near Mount Cottrel (northeast of what is now the Melbourne outer- western suburb of Wyndham Vale).[1. Franks' land neighboured that of the early Melbourne explorer and surveyor. John Helder Wedge, which was managed by his nephew Charles Wedge—prior to him gaining a pre- emptive right to land license of his own for the Frankston area.[1. The correspondence with the Department of Lands and Survey states that, at the time of surveying the area for the land sales of 1.

Frankston" was probably suggested to honour the Wedge's deceased former neighbour.[1. Another theory—that has become folklore—is that Frankston was named after a pub named "Frank Stone's Hotel".[2][2. In 1. 92. 9 the author Don Charlwood, a student of Frankston High School at the time, compiled a history of Frankston using both local records and oral sources supporting the theory (published in The Frankston & Somerville Standard newspaper on 8 February 1.

The pub to which Charlwood refers was originally named the Cannanuke Inn and was the first permanent building in the Frankston area.[4] It was built by the pre- emptive Frankston settler James Davey in the 1. The Victorian Heritage Database states that it was located on the present site of the Frankston Mechanics' Institute; at 1 Plowman Place in the Frankston Central Business District (CBD).[2.

According to Charlwood, it was purchased by a "Mr. Stone" in the early- 1.

Frank", renamed it "Frank Stone's Hotel" and around which the village developed and also had its name adapted from for its formal land sales in 1. As there appear to be no licensing records for the Cannanuke Inn, it is difficult to determine if this is in fact true. However, Charlwood does mention that Stone had purchased the Cannanuke Inn from "a man named Standring".[2. Licensing records state that Benjamin Standring was the owner of the Frankston Hotel from 1. Also, according to the terms of his pre- emptive right to land licence,[2. Davey did not have the right to sell or sub- let the Cannanuke Inn.[2.

It is therefore unlikely that Stone purchased or leased the Cannanuke Inn from Davey or Standring before the formal land sales for Frankston in 1. Frankston" was already in use.[3. A more recent theory, put forward by the author and historian Michael Jones in his local history book Frankston: Resort to City (published in 1. Frankston was named after the heroic British armygeneral Sir Thomas Harte Franks.[2] The theory is strengthened by the fact that a number of places near Frankston also have names that are derived or adapted from those of British army generals and statesmen (such as Cranbourne, Hastings, Lyndhurst, Mornington and Pakenham).

Jones states that the Surveyor General of Victoria from 1. Sir Andrew Clarke, named all of these places.[2]Pre- history[edit]Indigenous history[edit]Prior to the foundation of Melbourne by Europeans in 1. Port Phillip was originally populated by Indigenous Australians of the Kulin nation for an estimated 3. Particularly, the Frankston area was inhabited primarily by the Mayone- bulluk clan from the Bunurongtribe of the Kulin nation.[3][3. The tribes of the Kulin nation were a nomadic people with no sedentarysettlements.[3] As a result, there is minimal physical evidence of their past.[3] The Bunurong tribe in particular were mainly hunter- gatherers that maintained an ecologicallysustainable tradition of travelling between areas of seasonally abundant resources.[3] For the Mayone- bulluk clan; Kananook and Sweetwater creeks and the former swamps and wetlands of the Frankston area were rich sources of fish and eel as well as summerfruit and vegetables.[3][3. An important meeting place for the Bunurong tribe clans of the greater Mornington Peninsula region was the present site of the Frankston Mechanics' Institute, at 1 Plowman Place in the Frankston Central Business District (CBD), which was used for corroborees and as a trading place.[3.
