History

The locality is named after the mountain, which was originally known as Mount Allys, which was the family name of Lord Cawdor of the British House of Peers. It was renamed Mount Emlyn in the late 1800s, after the second wife of Francis Arthur Gore, grazier of Yandilla Station.[1]

gollark: Custom ROMs are *mostly* available on popular Android phones, for a while, but it is not ideal...
gollark: Rather than having to download everything from the Apple walled garden.
gollark: Probably not hugely often, but it's important to *me* from a freedom perspective.
