Coconut Grove, Northern Territory

Coconut Grove is named for the grove of coconuts on the coastal fringe of the area. Development of Coconut Grove dates back to the pre-war years when it was mainly used for farming, but the suburb primarily grew from the 1960s.

Coconut Grove is a small residential and light industrial suburb.^{[citation needed]} Coconut Grove is bounded by Progress Drive in the north, Bagot Road in the east, Totem Road in the south and the Darwin Harbour foreshore in the west.^[2] Most streets in Coconut Grove are named after local Darwin residents, interstate visitors and crew who died during the shipwreck of the SS Gothenburg off the Queensland coast in 1875.^[5]

Coconut Grove is usually associated with the adjacent northern Darwin suburbs of Nightcliff, Millner and Rapid Creek.
