Alawa is named after the Alawa Aboriginal tribe who inhabited an area on the southern tributaries.[2] The street names in Alawa commemorate the residents and workers, at the old Post Office, who were killed in the bombing of Darwin by the Japanese in 1942, and the boats and people associated with the early settlement of Palmerston (Port Darwin).
