| History/Origin |
This locality derives its name from the Cox Peninsula named after Matthew Dillon Cox regarded as the Territory's first pastoralist who applied for a lease over the peninsula in 1869, just after the establishment of Palmerston (Darwin). Cox's lease never eventuated as he died before he could meet the stocking conditions. |
