The town of Bremer Bay is located at the mouth of the Bremer River right next to Wellstead Estuary which is named after the first settler - John Wellstead. The town was actually named by John Septimus Roe, Surveyor General in 1848, in honour of Sir James Gordon Bremer, who was the Captain of the Tamar.
