Mulgrave

Mulgrave is a residential suburb in the City of Monash combining family homes with shopping and business areas throughout the locality. The area features standard suburban housing and local commercial zones that serve day-to-day needs.

The area was first settled in 1839 when a farmer established his property near a creek that still defines the landscape today. This early occupation laid the foundation for the suburb's residential development over the following decades.

The neighborhood has a strong sporting culture centered around local clubs that bring residents together throughout the year. These clubs form the social heart of the community and remain active in regional competitions.

The suburb is well served by local bus routes that connect it to Melbourne's broader transportation network. Getting around the area on public transport is straightforward for visitors.

The name comes from Mulgrave Castle in England, given to the area in honor of a British administrator from the 1800s. This naming reflects the colonial connections between the settlement and its British roots.
