History of North Melbourne

North Melbourne was established in the 1850s and was formerly called Hotham, named after the Governor of Victoria, Charles Hotham. It is one of the towns in Victoria to be first granted Municipal status by the government.

In 1860, the Hotham Post Office was established, and a year after, the population of the suburb was already over 7,000. It was also during this time when the locals formed the Hotham Football Club, which is today known as the North Melbourne Kangaroos.

On 26 Aug 1887, the place was renamed North Melbourne when the North Melbourne Town Hall and the Metropolitan Meat Market came to completion. In the following years, trams began to operate in the area.

During the 1930s, the government proposed large housing developments due to overcrowding, which were completed in the 1960s.
