I believe that in 1911 the town of "Palmerston" was name changed to "Darwin" (3 March 1911) when it's control was transferred from South Australia to the Commonwealth Government of Australia.
If the above date should really read "1941" then all I can say is that on 19th February 1942 the Japanese heavily bombed the city as part of WW2. It's been estimated that 188 Japanese airplanes bombed the city and it's harbour - a lot of American navy ships were in port at the time. Overall more bombs were dropped on Darwin that day than at Pearl Harbour.
