The name Carine was derived from the two swamps in the area, which were recorded by R. Quinn in a survey in 1865 as ‘big Carine swamp’ and ‘small Carine swamp’. Carine originally formed part of the Hamersley Estate, which also included the suburbs now known as North Beach, Watermans Bay and Hamersley.
