Developed in the last decade of the 18th century along farmland formerly known as Cliff Furlong. A villa known as Jermyn Place had been constructed in 1782 and the road was named after it though it was corrupted into German Place after a few years. This lasted until 1915 when it was renamed Madeira Place. The street runs north-south between Marine Parade and St James' Street.
