At a meeting of Manly
Council on 10 June 1899, reference made to the naming of what has become known
as Little Manly Point. Alderman Charles Tucker states that a letter from George
Thornton, Chairman of the Aborigines Protection Board, suggested that this
point of land should retain the original name by which it was known to the
local tribe. This tribe was the remnant of a former large tribe, and its
members regarded this point of land, on which were their “gibbah gunyahs”, as
their living area. They knew it as ‘Kihimatta’, which in their local dialect
meant a “sign of sleeping places”.
