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