Rowville

Rowville is a suburb located southeast of Melbourne in Victoria, spreading across residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, and shopping centers. The area functions as a residential community with schools, local services, and amenities that support daily life for thousands of inhabitants.

The area began in 1882 when the Row family owned land called Stamford Park, which eventually gave the location its name. This early settlement formed the foundation for the suburb's later development and expansion.

The Stringybark Festival brings together residents annually, while numerous sports clubs and scout groups maintain strong community connections throughout the administrative area.

The suburb connects to Melbourne through public transportation and offers easy access to schools and local shopping options. Visitors can explore different residential and commercial zones that spread across the area with straightforward navigation.

Stud Park Shopping Centre, Wellington Village, and Rowville Lakes form three distinct commercial hubs that serve different sections of this administrative division.
