Smith Street, Commercial street in Fitzroy and Collingwood, Australia

Smith Street stretches north-south between Victoria Parade and Queens Parade, establishing the boundary between the neighborhoods of Fitzroy and Collingwood in Melbourne.

The street emerged from a dirt track in 1838 and received its name in 1851 after John Thomas Smith, who served as Melbourne's mayor seven times.

Smith Street features numerous vintage clothing stores, art galleries, and local cafes that reflect the transformation of this area into a retail and dining destination.

Tram route 86 provides direct transportation along Smith Street, connecting the central business district to the northern suburbs with frequent service throughout the day.

The location marked retail history as the site of the first Coles Variety Store, which opened its doors in 1914 and introduced a new shopping concept.
