Scarborough is a rural and residential area; Scarborough is thought to be named after the seaside resort in Yorkshire, England or after one of the convict transport vessels in the First Fleet.
Settlement of the area dates from the early 1800s. Growth took place in the 1880s, spurred by the establishment of coal mining, with villages established around the coal mines.
Scarborough was originally known as South Clifton. A hotel opened in the area in 1887 and was named Scarborough Hotel. The South Clifton railway station was renamed Scarborough in October 1903 and the use of the name South Clifton was discontinued.
Major features of the area include Scarborough Beach, Scarborough Public School of Art and Crafts and Scarborough Hotel.
