History

Rheban was gazetted as a locality in 1960, beside Carrickfergus Bay. The district was initially called 'Annaroe' after a property there. It was then named after an Irish castle called Rheban near Athy, County Kildare. [2] Note the Tasmania Placenames reference is in error as Athy is 60 km inland from the sea and nowhere near Carrickfergus and Carrickfergus Bay (now known as Belfast Lough).

Geography

The Tasman Sea forms the eastern boundary. [3]

Road infrastructure

The C320 route (Rheban Road) enters from the north-east and runs south and south-west to an intersection with Wielangta Road (no route number) where it ends. [2] [4]
