There are many explanations of the name ‘Mannum’, but the one favoured by the local Aboriginal community is ‘the place of many ducks’.William Randell, romantic son of a pioneer pastoralist, fulfilled a lifelong dream when he launched a paddle steamer named Mary Ann at Noa-No on the Murray River in 1853.

Settlement within East Devonport dates from the 1850s when the area east of the Mersey River became known as Torquay. Growth within the area started taking place from the late 1800s and continued into the early 1900s. Victoria Bridge opened in 1901, further linking the area to the township on the western side of the Mersey River. The area east of the Mersey River then became known as East Devonport.Today, East Devonport is a combination of residential, industrial and rural areas, with some commercial land use. Rural land is used largely for agriculture. Devonport Port is situated in East Devonport and is home of the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry Terminal.
