Preston, Administrative district in northern Melbourne, Australia
Preston spans across 9 kilometers north of Melbourne's central business district, featuring residential neighborhoods intersected by commercial zones along High Street.
The area transformed from agricultural land in 1837 when Robert Hoddle first surveyed it for subdivision, taking its name from a location in Sussex, England.
Preston Market serves as a central gathering point where residents from Italian, Greek, and Sudanese communities exchange goods and maintain their traditions.
The suburb connects to Melbourne through two train stations on the Mernda line, multiple tram routes, and an extensive network of bus services.
The Stolen Generation Marker at Municipal Offices stands as a memorial recognizing the impact of past policies on Aboriginal communities in the region.
