[edit] History
Jannali is an Aboriginal word, meaning the Place Of The Moon, originating from the people of the Northern Territory. It is also used as a female given name.[1]
The area began to develop with the arrival of the railway line in 1884. However, the railway station at Jannali was not built until 1931. The department of railways paid for the construction of the railway station and ramps while the local council paid for the road bridge over the station. This attracted residents to the suburb and many more homes were built after World War II when blocks of land were offered to returned servicemen. [2]
