History
The suburb of Kingsley is named after the village of Kingsley which is near Winchester in Hampshire, England. The name was chosen for the historical association with the first owner of land in the area, William Kernot Shenton. Shenton was born in Winchester in 1802, and arrived in Western Australia in 1829. The suburb name was approved in 1974.
In 1844 Methodist missionary Rev John Smithes established Mission Farm near Lake Goollelal. It was to be a farm to be worked and occupied by aboriginal people under the guidance of the church. Businessman Ezio Luisini purchased 20 acres (8.1 hectares) of land near Lake Goollelal on which he established a winery in 1924. It was once one of the largest wineries in the southern hemisphere and operated from 1929 until 1986 when it was closed and the land redeveloped into suburban lots by Ernie Mondello.
