Changing The Name - A Royal Proclamation
It was in the early part of the 20th Century that a petition was brought before the Government of the day to change the name from Litte Beaver Cove to Port Albert. As can be seen by the attached documentation, a series of correspondences and Gazettes were issued, until the name was officially changed on 21 March 1916.
