Runs between Oldpark Road and Cliftonville Road. The name has a Biblical connection. In the book of Exodus, Elim is a desert oasis with twelve springs and seventy palm trees where the Israelites camped on their journey out of bondage in Egypt.
The 1907 street directory has a number of relevant entries on Cliftonville Road close to the point where Elimgrove Street intersects with it: at no. 62, Cliftonville Road (part of Elimgrove Terrace) was Elimgrove Post Office, Caroline McLelland, subpostmistress; also at this address was Rev. R. McLelland, pastor. It is possible that the name of the terrace and also Elimgrove Street are derived from the pastor's residence. Perhaps he ministered at an Elim Pentecostal church, of which there are several in Belfast, but none of them are in this immediate area. However, just to complicate matters further, there was also a group of houses called Elmgrove Villas on the same section of Cliftonville Road, and it should be borne in mind that the street-name approved in corporation minutes was Elmgrove Street.
That on the application of the owners Messrs Gillespie and Wylie a new street on their property situate off Cliftonville Road be named 'Elmgrove Street'. (28th May 1901). The name Elmgrove is not in use, the street is called Elimgrove Street. There may have been an error in recording the name in minutes.
Dual language street sign (English and Irish) approved in October 2025.
