| History/Origin | A well on the banks of the Woodforde Creek was named "Tea Tree Well" during the construction of the Overland Telagraph Line (refer A T Woods O T Line construction records) and is believed to be named as the well was amongst "tea tree" bushes in the creek. In the 1920's with pastoral expansion north of Alice Springs, William Heffernan founded Ti Tree Station, some miles west of the well, and eventually a store was set up by Lily Hese at Tea Tree Well. In early 1980 the community requested, by petition to Legislative Assembly, that the spelling of the town name be changed from "Tea Tree" to "Ti-Tree". The area of the town was gazetted on 15 May 1981 with the town being officially named "Ti-Tree" on 22 April 1983 (NTG18 6 May 1983). In 1994 the Town of Ti-Tree was incorporated into the Anmatjere Community Government Council. |
