The suburb was created by splitting the south-eastern corner of the suburb of Forrestdale as a new, separate industrial area. Two proposed options for the suburb name existed, Salmeri, after Steve Salmeri, an organiser of the local progress association and sports club, and Doobarda, a Noongar[3] name for the Banksia flower.[4] The name South Forrestdale was also proposed for the new suburb at one point but did not meet Landgate naming requirements and therefore could not be used.[3]
