History

Originally known as Little Coogee, the name was changed to Clovelly in 1913. When the search for a new name began, Eastbourne, an English seaside town was suggested. The president of the local progress association suggested Clovelly, the name of a local estate owned by Sir John Robertson, which was named for the village of Clovelly on the north Devon coast, England.

William C. Greville bought 20 acres, which included the whole bay frontage, for 40 pounds in 1834. Early Clovelly houses were modest and built in a simple style. Some survived around Northumberland, Campbell and Boundary Streets near Waverley Cemetery and also further west. Massive subdivision began in 1909 into residential blocks, forming the basis of today's suburb.

In 1913 the tramline extended to Clovelly helping to popularise the area however up until the late 1980s it remained something of a 'sleepy hollow' - a small, quiet beach suburb with coastal views and a village atmosphere.

By the late 1980s its attractions of 'the safest beach in Sydney' ^{[citation needed]}, access to several private schools and decent transport links to the City, Randwick and Bondi Junction ensured that it became a desirable residential location with property prices moving upwards at increasing rates in line with other Sydney beachside suburbs.
