History[edit]

The locality was named and bounded on 27 July 1991.[2] It was presumably named after the now-abandoned Calcium railway station (19°40′32S 146°50′05E / 19.6756°S 146.8348°E / -19.6756; 146.8348 (Calcium railway station)) on the Great Northern railway,[8] which had been named prior to 1914 after the calcium-bearing lime that was mined in the area.[9][10]

Manton takes its name from the now-abandoned Manton railway station (19°39′26S 146°50′03E / 19.6573°S 146.8341°E / -19.6573; 146.8341 (Manton railway station)), which takes its name from a pioneer farmer.[3]
