Port Kennedy

Port Kennedy takes its name from a feature located in the South-East corner of Warnbro Sound. The port was named by J S Roe (Surveyor General in 1859) during the survey of Warnbro Sound. He named it after Sir Arthur Edward Kennedy, Governor of Western Australia 1855-1862. The suburb was previously named Becher, after Point Becher, and was renamed in 1990.
