| History/Origin | The Finke River was named by John McDouall Stuart on 3 April 1860 during his fourth attempt to cross the Australian continent from south to north. Stuart named the Finke River "after my sincere friend William Finke, Esq. of Adelaide, South Australia - one of the liberal promoters of the different expeditions I have had the honor to lead." |
