"Cananore"
The name of the Cananore Football Club was derived from a misspelt plaque on a large family home, which had been a gathering point for fans of the club in its formative years. The house is long demolished and the plaque is now displayed in the Hobart Football Clubrooms.
"Cannanore was the British name of a district in India in the 19th century which is now called Kannur.
The district was an important port on the Arabian Sea and the British military headquarters on India's west coast until 1887.
It is believed one of the founders of Cananore chose the name as they had been based in earlier years and had brought home an incorrectly spelt name plaque, which adorned the entry to a building at which many supporters of the new entity met.
While no official amalgamation of Cananore and Hobart took place, it is widely regarded that from Cananore's ashes Hobart grew, with strong family ties linking the history of the two clubs." — The Mercury, 8 September 2010.
