History...Trevallyn was gazetted as a locality in 1963.
The name of the suburb spelled backwards, Nyllavert, can be found on postal records and lists of localities; the local post office used to carry this name in the 1930s.[4] Despite the place name no longer existing and not being officially gazetted,[5] the name still appears in many lists and indexes of localities.
The name of the suburb could be also of Welsh origin. In that language, Trevallyn means Town of the Ax: Tref (the f sounds like a v in Welsh) means town. Allyn means Ax. It could also be simplified as Axtown. Actually, it is Cornish. Tre means town or settlement; vallyn is a mutation (common in Cornish grammar) of mellyn, meaning 'mill'. It is named after Trevallyn, Launceston, Cornwall, UK (courtesy of Professor Philip Payton, Emeritus Professor of Cornish and Australian Studies at the University of Exeter).
Geography ...The South Esk River forms the south-western and south-eastern boundaries, and the Tamar River the north-eastern.It is the location of the Cataract Gorge and the Trevallyn Dam.
Road infrastructure Route A7 (West Tamar Road) runs through from south-east to north-east.

TROVE: THE NEW SUBURB OF TREVALLYN.
(BY OBSERVER.)Launceston Examiner (Tas. : 1842 - 1899) Tue 9 Sept 1884 THE NEW SUBURB OF TREVALLYN.
There is no better sign of the prosperity of a town or city and the progress it is making than the steady extension of its building area. As a town prospers the residents therein have to go further and further from the densely populated centre when looking for building sites, and thus in a thriving community land which during past years has been covered with bush and scrub, or ploughed and sown with cereal crops, is cut up into building allotments, and almost in a night, as it were, a fresh suburb springs into existence.
There are croakers in every community, who, because their undertakings prosper not, or who perchance are too lackadaisical and easy going to push themselves on in the world, and who thus fall behind in the race for riches, who are continually crying out about the dull times, and morning, noon, and night proclaim from the street corners that "the town is going to the dogs."
While they groan and croak and sleep, their energetic neighbours are hard at work "making hay while the sun shines", and thus to the astonishment of the drones, become wealthy, or at least prosperous, and thus belie the dirge so solemnly sung about the "hardness of the times." And in Launceston there are a goodly number of those croakers, but thank goodness they are outnumbered by men of energy and push, intelligence and perseverance, who slowly but surely rise above the surface of mediocrity and, while making themselves independent add to the general prosperity of the town. How long has the cry been raised that Launceston is played out, and that no man can make a living in it? Why, for years and years, and yet there is not asingle week but that the town increases in size and in population. Within the past few years new suburbs have sprung up with mushroom-like rapidity.
Inveresk not very long ago was a wet and dismal swamp, and now it is a neat little suburb, with cottage and villa residences and a park 'of its own. Galvin Town, or South Launceston, by which name it will be known in the future, sprang up with wonderful rapidity, while scores of residences are being erected on the Cataract Hill, and between the Elphin-road and High-street,
Windmill-hill. Is not that a sign of prosperity and progress? Then while the drones have been sleeping, and the grumblers searching for some fresh grievance with which to feed their croaking appetite, a new suburb has sprung up on the West Tamar-road, on the rising ground beyond the Cataract bridge. This new suburb is called Trevallyn, and derives its name from the fact that it is situatedon Mr. Wm. Barnes's estate of that name.
For a suburb, the site is an admirable one, and its name is quite in keeping with it. Not too far removed from the business part of the town, and situated as it is on the side of a hill, the view from which is charming. Trevallyn will doubtless ere long become a very popular suburb. The view of the town of Launceston, with the wharves and the river, and the broad stretch of plain from the Tamar right away to Ravenswood, with the mountains in the distance raising their peaks into the summer blue above, is a truly beautiful one and hardly to be surpassed in the island. The locality is healthy, and the drainage should be all that can be desired.
Roads have been cut and partly formed on an easily ascending grade, and w:ater has been laid on, and gas will follow in a few months or so. The suburb is divided into three sections or rather terraces, rising above one another from the West Tamar Road to the brow of the hill. 'The first new street runs from the turn of the road just before reaching the Tamar Rowing Club sheds, and after about 400 yards of ascending grade runs along the side of the hill parallel with the West Tamar Road. This will be called Treyallyn Street. From this street, just at the commencement of the level stretch, another road or street commences, This turns southwards and after skirting the back of the allotments facing the lower portion of Treyallyn Street sweeps round with a nice curve and runs along the hill almost at the top parallel with the streets below. From the same starting point referred to another road runs with an easy gradient up the hill, taking a course north and eventually running parallel with the streets above and below.
The land has been pegged off into 55 building allotments, and already 43 have been purchased and 12 houses have been built or are in course of erection. On the West Tamar-road frontage three houses have already been erected. The first, which is about 300 yards from the rowing sheds, is hardly finished, and' belongs to Mr. Jas. G.M'Kay. A little further down the road is a very neat cottage, also owned by Mr.
M'Kay, and in which Mr. Fletcher resides. Immediately below this is situated a pretty little cottage, the property of Mr. Jos. Beadle. A section of land a few yards further down the river has been given by Mr. Barnes to the Government to be utilised as a site on which to build a police station and quarters. Now,turning up the second road, to be called Trevallyn-street, the first section, which overlooks the Cataract, is taken by Mr. Adams, Mr. O. Jarman having the one adjoining. The next allotment belongs toMr. D. F. Scott, who intends building thereon shortly. On the next section Mr. Alex. Young is erecting a very neat and picturesque cottage of a novel style of architecture known as Queen Anne. The view from this portion of the suburb is very pleasing. The section next adjoining is owned by Mr. David Scott, builder, who is busy preparing the foundation for a nice house. Mr. J. Ferguson has purchased the allotment next to Mr. Scott's. The next section, which is a large one, extending right to the juncture of the low and high roads, is owned byMr. Wm. Hartnoll, jnr. The ground has been nearly cleared of boulders, and laid down in grass, and trees have been planted all round it. Proceeding along Treyallyn Street, there is an allotment on the right side of the road taken up by Mr. F. W. Stewart, on which a building will shortly be erected. By the side of this ranging down to the West Tamar-road is a section belonging to Mr. W. I. Thrower. It has been entirely cleared of boulders, which were broken into metal as they lay on the section, and used by the West Tamar Road Trust for repairing the road. Mr. Thrower intends building a house on his property in a month or two.
Further down Treyallyn Street, on the right side, is a very nice two-storied veranda cottage facing the river, owned by Mr. A. Beck. Immediately opposite, on the other side of the road, Mr. E. Scully is erecting a cottage. The next section is owned by Mr. Hollingsworth, who has commenced preparations for building. There are no other buildings on this street at present. On the road above, two houses are being erected, one by Mr. Jos. Boultbee, and the other by Mr. P. B. Dugan. This portion of the suburb, though situated high above the West Tamar Road, is a very nice portion of Trevallyn. It is flatter than some portions of the suburb, and freer from scrub.
The view from this spot is lovely, commanding a wide range of country. A few acres of land situated between the middle and higher roads, and immediately to the rear of Mr. Young's and Mr. Hartnoll's residences, has been reserved. This is of triangular shape, and is situated where the hill is a little flatter than in the immediate neighbourhood. This will be planted with trees, and will ultimately be utilised as a pleasure ground for the use of the inhabitants. It had almost been forgotten that Mr. J. J. Higgs, junr., has commenced to erect a cottage at the junction of Treyallyn Street with the West Tamar Road, on a triangular allotment opposite the rowing sheds.
Taken altogether the new suburb is a very nice one, and in a year or two will be quite studded with villa and cottage residences, to which merchants and tradesmen can retire after the business troubles of the day are over, to smoke the pipe of peace in quietness, and undisturbed by the noise and clatter of the town; and enjoy all the 'dolce far niente' of a country village and rural retreat.
