Kunbarllanjanja (or Gunbalunya), also called Oenpelli, was established in 1906 by Paddy Cahill (after whom the crossing at the East Alligator River is named). It was taken over by the government in 1916 and then run by the Church Missionary Society until 1977 when control passed back to the community.
