Cowan Point

About

SuburbCowanTypeOtherDetailsCowan Point is on the southern shore of Cowan Creek opposite Little Jerusalem Bay. The origin of the word 'Cowan' is open to conjecture. Reed gives it as an Aboriginal word meaning big water. Halstead says that it was first recorded in 1826 when William Bean sought a land grant, and that it was officially known through most of the 19th century as the 'South West Arm'. It is said by Kennedy to be named after a place in Scotland. According to Jervis the name was definitely in use by 1823. A 1953 Lands Department shows the entire creek as Cowan Water.
