==Etymology==
The area now known as Gunbalanya was called "Unbalanj" by the Mengerrdji speaking people who were its original inhabitants.〔Mulvaney, John, 'Paddy Cahill of Oenpelli', Aboriginal Studies Press, 2004, p. 37〕〔Birch, Bruce 'Erre Mengerrdji Urningangk: Three Languages From The Alligator Rivers Region Of North Western Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia', Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation, 2006, p. 3〕 It is called Kunbarllanjnja by Kunwinjku speaking people, who began moving into the area from the east following the creation of a cattle station there in 1909. Gunbalanya is an anglicisation of Kunbarllanjnja, which is itself related to the local word Unbalanj. The alternative name for the town, Oenpelli, is a corruption of Unbalanj and was coined by Paddy Cahill, the founder of the original cattle station.〔Mulvaney, 'Paddy Cahill of Oenpelli', p. 37〕
