The Narrows is a northern inner suburb of the city of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. It is the traditional country and waterways of the Larrakia people.[3]

History

It is named after the narrow land between Ludmilla and Sadgrove Creeks.

The Narrows appeared on early plans of Darwin and was retained as a suburb name when the area of land south of the RAAF Base was subdivided in 1960.
