According to records the settlement gets its name from a battle which took place between the local Koranna tribe and farmers who landed there in 1928 and decided to settle permanently. Upon crossing the Orange River in a small corrugated iron boat they took with them the famed canon, said to have played a major role in the consequent battle and which is now on display at the Kanoneiland primary school.
