Nomenclature: The Electorate of Baldivis takes its name from the suburb of Baldivis which is located in the southern end of the electorate. The area was one of the State Government's Group Settlement schemes implemented in the 1920s to alleviate unemployment and promote a State dairy industry. The name was created for the first school in the district near Baldivis and Fifty roads. A school building was completed and was given the name 'Baldivis' - a name coined by local settlers after three ships that brought them to WA in 1922 - the 'Balranald', the 'Diogenes' and the 'Jervis Bay'. All three ships were reportedly built in the same year in the UK. All of the vessels made their maiden voyage to WA within six weeks of each other.
