History of Langwarrin

Langwarrin was named after the Langwarrin parish, which got its name from Lang Waring pastoral run that extended from the suburb up to the township of Tyabb.

In 1886, The Langwarrin Military Reserve was established in the area as the elevated location was deemed strategic for the defence of Phillip Bay and Melbourne from seaborne attack. Three years after, the Langwarrin Railway Station was opened followed by the opening of two post offices.

In World War I, the military reserve served as detention for prisoners of war. An army hospital was also established in this area for combatants with venereal disease. While in World War II, the reserve became a training ground for the military up until it was leased and then sold to the State Government.
