About Howrah
Howrah is a residential and beachside suburb of Hobart in the City of Clarence, Tasmania, east of Bellerive and north of Tranmere, with views across the Derwent River to the city. The suburb takes its name from Howrah House, a property built on Clarence Plains in the 1830s by a retired Indian Army officer, Captain James Fielder, who named it after the city of Howrah across the river from Calcutta in India.
