Located at the mouth of the Leven River is Ulverstone, a coastal town supported by tourism and agriculture. Ulverstone was settled in 1840 by James Fenton, however due to a lack of accessibility to the town, development was limited until 1890 when a railway station was constructed.

Settlement within East Devonport dates from the 1850s when the area east of the Mersey River became known as Torquay. Growth within the area started taking place from the late 1800s and continued into the early 1900s. Victoria Bridge opened in 1901, further linking the area to the township on the western side of the Mersey River. The area east of the Mersey River then became known as East Devonport.Today, East Devonport is a combination of residential, industrial and rural areas, with some commercial land use. Rural land is used largely for agriculture. Devonport Port is situated in East Devonport and is home of the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry Terminal. Other features of the area include East Devonport Recreation Centre, Mersey Yacht Club, East Devonport Beach and East Devonport Beach Coastal Reserve.
