History

The locality was named and bounded on 27 July 1991. [2] It was presumably named after the now-abandoned Calcium railway station ( 19°40′32″S146°50′05″E / 19.6756°S 146.8348°E / -19.6756; 146.8348 (Calcium railway station) ) on the Great Northern railway, [8] which had been named prior to 1914 after the calcium-bearing lime that was mined in the area. [9] [10]

Manton takes its name from the now-abandoned Manton railway station ( 19°39′26″S146°50′03″E / 19.6573°S 146.8341°E / -19.6573; 146.8341 (Manton railway station) ), which takes its name from a pioneer farmer. [3]
