[edit] History
Early settler Captain E. H. Cliffe purchased a 15 acre estate on the waters edge, he named it "Cliffeton" and it is believed that the area's name was derived from that. A hotel called the Clifton Arms was built in 1871 by D. Butters. It was bought by David Thompson who built the Marine Hotel that operated from 1891 to 1967. Thompson also built a wharf and dancing pavilion here and the area became popular as a picnic spot. [1]
