Lota is 16 kilometres east of the CBD. 1859 waterfront land was subdivided from Lytton to Fig Tree Point and sales began in 1860. In 1863 Irish-born politician and squatter William Duckett White bought 293 acres and erected his two-storey Lota House, the heritage-listed structure now situated in Oceana Terrace opposite the Presbyterian church. Lota was apparently the name of the home in Ireland where White’s wife had been brought up.
