Caloundra was named by Captain James Cook during his exploration of Australia in 1770. He referred to the area as "Pumicestone River," but the name "Caloundra" is believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "place of the fight" or "place of the spear." The name was officially adopted in the late 19th century as the area developed.
