Bunbury was discovered by French explorer Captain de Freycinet in 1803. It was originally named Port Leschenault and was a camp site for a military regiment. The area was re-named Bunbury in 1836 in honour of Lieutenant Henry William St. Pierre Bunbury who was the first European to trek there overland from Pinjarra.
