Coventry Rd is located on the Underwood Estate, which was subdivided in 1878 as the ‘Village of Homebush Estate’. Sub-division occurred prior to the incorporation of Strathfield Council in 1885 and no records exist to confirm the origin of names of streets in this estate, however many of the streets are named for locations in the United Kingdom.
Coventry Road was once located between Rochester St to Parramatta Rd, but the road has been shortened and now is located between Rochester Street and Dickson Street. Other sections of Coventry Road have been renamed in parts such as Mackenzie Street and Smallwood Avenue.
