History Forde is a suburb of the Canberra district of Gungahlin and is named in honour of Frank Forde who served as Prime Minister of Australia for a week in 1945 following the untimely death of John Curtin. European settlers first settled in the region of Canberra known as Ginninderra during the 1830s. A road between Murrumbateman and Bungendore passed through nearby Mulligans Flat, which is now home to the remains of the historic site of the Mulligans Flat Schools.
