Officially named in April 2007 after F J Gillen and the nearby Mt Gillen, the area honors the anthropologist‑telegraphist Francis James Gillen, who served as Alice Springs station master in 1892. The Central Australian Aviation Museum anchors the community, offering a cultural touchstone that celebrates regional aviation history.
