The highway is named after the region it goes through, The Central Coast. It was officially named by the New South Wales state government on 9 August 2006 to provide an easily identifiable route for visitors to the region.

Before that, the highway carried the State Route 83 designation previously held by the Pacific Highway from Kariong to Gosford, where the Pacific Highway recommences.
