History

This area was part of the 50-acre (200,000 m²) Laycock estate granted to Hannah Laycock (1758-1831), the wife of Quartermaster Thomas Laycock (1756-1809), in 1804.

Frederick Moore Clements, who became wealthy from selling the family health restorer, Clements Tonic, owned 40 acres (160,000 m²) near William Street until his death in 1920. 'Clementon Park' was an early suggestion for the suburb’s name but records show Clemton Park was used from 1925. ^[1]
