Settlement history
European settlement dates from 1829 when the Swan River Colony was established by the British Government, with land used mainly for dairy farming and market gardening. Population was minimal until the 1870s when several lakes were drained and access was improved. Growth occurred during the 1870s and 1880s, spurred by the opening of the railway line in 1881. Rapid development took place from the 1890s into the 1910s, aided by nearby gold discoveries. Expansion resumed during the interwar period. Significant development occurred from the post-war years, largely due to residential infill.
