The locality was named in 1900 for Howth, a village and outer suburb of Dublin in Ireland, the home town of an early settler family.[3]
The C118 route (Nine Mile Road) intersects with the Bass Highway at the north-eastern extremity of the locality, from where it runs through to the south and provides access to many other localities.[4]
