Named after George Canning and Robert Peel edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The lede states that Canning Downs was named after George Canning and Robert Peel. OK, the Canning connection is obvious and there are citations to support that e.g. [1], but in what way is "Canning Downs" named after "Robert Peel"? Doesn't named after imply using part of the name? I cannot find any citations linking Canning Downs with Robert Peel, other than ones that appear to be copied from this Wikipedia article. The only thing I can find is that Robert Peel was replaced by George Canning as British Home Secretary, but I fail to see how that affects the naming of Canning Downs. I am very tempted to remove the mention of Robert Peel unless someone can establish his connection to this article. Your thoughts? Kerry (talk) 02:28, 29 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
