Settled in the 1820s, the area was originally called Kangaroo Bluff. It was from here that people and goods were ferried across the river and in 1975-6 ferries again operated after the collapse of the Tasman Bridge. The name Bellerive was adopted in the 1930s. There are many fine buildings in Bellerive, one of the oldest being the Police Station and Watch House circa 1842 (now the Community Arts Centre). Queen Street, originally named Bidasso Street, is worth a walk with fine examples of colonial architecture. Bellerive State School (circa 1858) is now a Youth Hostel.
