History of Ashburton

The suburb was named after a station on the Outer Circle railway from the suggestion of E. Dillion, a former local councillor who lived in Ashburton Terrace in Ireland. The primary objective of opening the railway line was to encourage residential development in the area. However, Ashburton was better known for its forest as a site of picnics. Residential development in the suburb only started during Melbourne’s urban expansion after Word War I.

Around the 1920s, Ashburton already had several shops, market gardens and orchards. A primary school opened in the suburb in 1928, while a public hall and churches were established in Ashburton in the late 1920s.
