The Wurundjeri are Indigenous Australians of the Kulin nation who occupied the Yarra River Valley and its tributaries in what is now Melbourne

Settlement

Victoria was proclaimed a separate colony in 1851.

East St Kilda commenced to be settled in the 1850's. St Kilda East is an Inner city suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The area of Glen Eira was once swamps, with farms in the northern area and market gardens in the south. Dirt tracks wound through the swamps and sandy heaths of the district. They were constantly damaged by farmers’ cart wheels, creating dangerous holes and making access difficult.

In 1853 the Victorian Parliament passed an Act to give authority to locally elected people to extract rates from residents in order to finance road construction. The Parliament of Victoria is a Bicameral, or two-house legislature Residents lobbied for a roads district to be proclaimed to ensure that roads were maintained and passable.

Caulfield's organised communal existence began as a District Roads Board in 1857 and the first Caulfield Roads Board was elected in November 1857. It had control over the roads in an area bounded by Warrigal Road, Hotham Street, Dandenong Road, North Road and Brighton Road. The Princes Highway is a segment of Australia's Highway 1 that extends from Sydney to Adelaide and Port Augusta South Australia The proclamation of the Caulfield Roads Board tied the name 'Caulfield' to a specific area.

Moorabbin became a Roads Board in 1862. Moorabbin is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria Australia located approximately 16 kilometers south-east of the Melbourne CBD. The board's boundaries extended from the outskirts of Brighton and south-east along both sides of the Nepean Road as far as Mordialloc Creek, taking in the coastal areas now known as Hampton, Sandringham, Beaumaris and Mentone. Brighton ( is a town on the south coast of England and with its neighbour Hove, forms the city of Brighton and Hove. The Royal Borough of Beaumaris (the first syllable is pronounced as in beautiful, so byoo-maris, not bow-maris) (Biwmares is the former

Caulfield became a Shire in 1863 and a City in 1913. Moorabbin became a Shire in 1874 and a City in 1934.

For the first 25 years of Caulfield’s municipal life, board/shire members met in "Mood Kee", the house of Cr Harold Pennington. He was paid 10 pounds a year to cover the cost of candles, fuel and the room. The annual general meeting was held in a tent in the backyard. The Caulfield Town Hall (now the Glen Eira Town Hall) was built in 1885. The building was modified several times to meet the growing demands of the municipality, as was Moorabbin Town Hall.

Moorabbin, part of the earliest development of Melbourne, began as an outpost of "Dendy's Brighton" and took shape as a market garden area along what was Arthur's Seat Road, now the Nepean Highway. / Nepean Highway runs south from Melbourne city in Victoria Australia to Portsea, along the eastern shores of Port Phillip Bay. For more than a century, the sandy soil of Moorabbin provided metropolitan Melbourne with much of its fruit and vegetables.

After World War II, Moorabbin became one of the first 'boom suburbs'. By the 1950's, along with the Sydney suburb of Bankstown, it became the fastest growing municipality in Australia. Sydney (ˈsɪdniː is the most populous city in Australia, with a Metropolitan area population of approximately 4

Road conditions were just one the major challenges to face the elected bodies in a developing area. As the farms and market gardens gave way to housing and the district’s population grew, street lighting (originally gas), drainage, sewerage, rubbish collection, tips and other services were provided.

Today, the City of Glen Eira is an established area. Glen Eira City Council is responsible for maintaining an ageing infrastructure and strives to update with works on roads, drains and footpaths.

Public health issues have always been a key part of Council’s activities. A clean water supply and sanitary removal of sewage was critical last century because of outbreaks of disease, such as typhoid, diphtheria and scarlet fever. These functions have now been taken by Melbourne Water. Melbourne Water is a government run organisation that controls much of the water system in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia including the city's Reservoirs

Council has for a long time had a role in controlling the impact of animals on health and well-being. Late last century, Caulfield Council was paying a reward for the heads of rats. Dog registration had been around since 1865.

Social caring and support roles have continued to grow, from maternal and child health centres — the first opened around 1924 — to providing work for the unemployed during the Depression, digging trenches in Caulfield Park during World War II, setting up welfare funds and operating Meals on Wheels from 1957. Caulfield North is a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, in the state of Victoria. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Meals on Wheels are programmes that deliver meals to individuals at home who are unable to purchase or prepare their own meals

Immunisation services have been provided since the last century. Council libraries began in the district with the Bentleigh Library in July 1961; the Caulfield service followed in 1963.

Providing public open spaces has also been a long tradition. Paddy’s Swamp (now Caulfield Park) was set aside as a reserve in the 1880s. Caulfield North is a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, in the state of Victoria. Many other sites once used as tips were turned into parks and gardens. Some parks were provided partly to cater for the large crowds at municipal band performances. As involvement in sport developed, so did the reserves’ facilities.

Names

Caulfield

The origin of the name of Caulfield is not known for certain, but the name seemed to be linked with Baron Caulfeild of Ireland, perhaps through John Caulfield, a pioneer of the colony. Moorabbin is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria Australia located approximately 16 kilometers south-east of the Melbourne CBD. Viscount Charlemont is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1665 for William Caulfeild 5th Baron Charlemont. Ireland (pronounced /ˈaɾlənd/ Éire) is the third largest island in Europe, and the twentieth-largest island in the world

The name 'Caulfield' was in use by 1853, and the early maps always place it somewhere around the racecourse. It was not in general use for the whole area until the proclamation of the Caulfield Road District in 1857.

Moorabbin

The name Moorabbin derives from an Aboriginal word which principally means 'a resting place'. Moorabbin is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria Australia located approximately 16 kilometers south-east of the Melbourne CBD. The proper name is probably 'moorooboon', a term used by the tribal group of the area, the Bunurong. Bunurong (also spelt Bunwurrung Boonwerung Bunurowrung Boonoorong and Bururong) is the language and name of the Bunurong people, an Australian Aboriginal The first European settlers may have found 'moorooboon' difficult to pronounce and accordingly corrupted the word for ease of use. The name Moorabbin applied from the earliest days of the Port Phillip settlement and remains today.

Glen Huntly

Glen Huntly is named after a ship, the Glen Huntly, that arrived in Port Phillip Bay in 1840, after setting off from Greenock, Scotland. Glen Huntly is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Glen Eira. "Port Phillip" may also refer to a Local Government Area called the City of Port Phillip. She was carrying 190 new immigrants, skilled manual labourers who were heading for the new colony settled in Melbourne. Fever, most likely typhoid, struck the ship mid journey and only 50 people survived to reach Port Phillip Bay. The Glen Huntly was forced to land at Little Red Bluff (now Point Ormond) and Victoria's first quarantine station was formed to deal with the crisis. Supplies and provisions were brought down what is now Glen Huntly Road and the small town was formed.

Until recently Glen Huntly was spelt 'Glenhuntly'. The Council voted to change the spelling of the name of the suburb and of the road that bears the name to bring it to the historical spelling. Unfortunately, the vote did not affect the spelling of the train station which continues to be spelt 'Glenhuntly'. The section of the Glen Huntly/Glenhuntly Road which comes within the boundaries of the City of Port Phillip continued for a time to be spelt 'Glenhuntly Road', but has now been changed to bring it into line with the rest of the road. The City of Port Phillip is a Local Government Area

Bentleigh

One of Moorabbin’s early identities was Thomas Bent, who was simultaneously a Councillor on both Moorabbin and Brighton Councils for more than 40 years, as well becoming a State Member of Parliament and Premier. Sir Thomas Bent ( 7 December 1838 – 17 September 1909) Australian politician was the 22nd Premier of Victoria. Moorabbin is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria Australia located approximately 16 kilometers south-east of the Melbourne CBD. Brighton ( is a town on the south coast of England and with its neighbour Hove, forms the city of Brighton and Hove. The suburb of Bentleigh is named after him. Bentleigh is a Suburb of Melbourne, Australia, in the state of Victoria, located within the Local Government Area
