Kalgan in a small town in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The town is situated on the banks of the Kalgan River and was first known as ''Kalganup'' which mean "place of first camp" or "place of many waters". Indigenous Australians used the area as a meeting place up to 19,000 years ago. The name was first recorded in 1831 when explorer Alexander Collie charted the area. Land was set aside for a townsite in 1837 but was gazetted in 1912 following land being opened up in the area. The Kalgan Hall was constructed in 1912 and became a focal point for the community. An independent school, Great Southern Grammar, was built along Oyster Harbour near where the Kalgan River discharges into the harbour. The school was established in 1999 and is the only school in Kalgan. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kalgan, Western Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
