It reads, "The Overseas Settlement Committee was constituted in May 1919. Premier James Mitchell saw the opportunity to develop a dairy industry in the Southwest. Baldivis, Mandogalup and Kamup were developed as part of this scheme. Baldivis was named after three ships that brought settlers to the area: Balranald, "Diogenes" and "Jervis Bay". "
