History

Menai has some interesting historical connections to Wales in the United Kingdom. The town was first named Bangor by a Welsh farmer called Owen Jones who named his new home after his birthplace.

In 1910, the Postmaster General’s office changed the name of the town to avoid any confusion with another place called Bangor in Tasmania. Menai was chosen in honour of Menai Bridge, a bridge over the Menai Strait in Wales, very close to Bangor!
