It was named after the Denne family who settled the area as farmers in the 1830s. It was originally known as Kelly’s Point after pioneer shipmaster and harbour pilot James Kelly. Anthony Smith Denne commenced ferry service in 1847 across the D’Entrecasteaux Channel between Tinderbox and “Kelly’s” Point. The island is now serviced by a ferry between Kettering and Roberts Point. Over time Dennes Point has seen mixed agricultural activity, mostly orcharding and grazing.
