Named after Allan Ferguson Brumby who was born in Adelaide in 1904. He worked as a contractor on various Kidman properties until he purchased Ernabella Station in South Australia.

He later sold Ernabella and managed other South Australian properties before taking up the lease on the Finke Hotel Store in the 1950's.
