Glen Iris, Residential suburb in eastern Melbourne, Australia.
Glen Iris extends across 7.1 square kilometers of land with tree-lined streets, grand houses, and numerous parks at 10 kilometers from Melbourne's center.
The area received its name from Captain Thomas Henderson in 1852, who promoted a property near Gardiners Creek after arriving on the ship Iris.
The suburb contains multiple educational institutions, including Camberwell South Primary School, Glen Iris Primary School, and Korowa Anglican Girls' School.
Two train stations on the Glen Waverley railway line serve the area, while the Alamein line crosses through the eastern section.
Glen Iris maintained its position as Melbourne's geographical center of population from the 1990s until the 2020s before shifting toward Camberwell.
