History of Yarraville

Yarraville was named after Yarra River as the suburb is located immediately west of it.

Settlement in the area began around the 1870s after a railway stopping place was opened in the suburb. During that time, a church was already established in Yarraville, and a Common School was opened in 1875 because of the growing population of the suburb.

In 1880, Yarraville became a popular location for factories due to the ease of transporting goods via the local train station and the Yarra River. By the late 1890s, a shopping centre was already open in the suburb with plenty of shops operating around Anderson Street.

Over the years Yarraville became a working-class suburb before it underwent rapid gentrification due to its close location to the Melbourne CBD.
