East Howe East Howe is a residential district of the town of Bournemouth, Dorset on the south coast of England. ==Origins== The district takes its name from the now-archaic English word 'howe', variously defined as denoting a depression or a stretch of high ground.〔West Howe History Group, ''West Howe Proper'' (Wimborne: Word and Action (Dorset) Ltd., 1983), p. 18.〕 There is a ridge of high ground stretching across to the west, which appears to have given rise to the toponyms High Howe, West Howe and East Howe, certainly prior to 1826 when all three settlements were marked on Greenwood's map of Dorset. Previously, a 'How Corner' had featured on Paterson's 1785 map of Dorset, seemingly denoting a bend in the Poole to Ringwood road (now the A348) as it passed through the High Howe area.
