City of Stonnington, Local government district in Melbourne, Australia
The City of Stonnington extends across 25.7 square kilometers between Punt Road and Warrigal Road, with the Yarra River forming its northern boundary.
The formation of Stonnington occurred in 1994 through the merger of the Municipalities of Prahran and Malvern, which were established in the 1850s.
The territory belonged to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation before European settlement began in 1835 with pastoralist John Gardiner.
Residents access comprehensive municipal services through multiple council facilities, including waste management, parking permits, and community development programs.
The name originates from Stonington mansion, constructed in 1890, which was named after the Connecticut birthplace of the builder's wife.
