Flemington, Inner-city suburb in Victoria, Australia.
Flemington spreads across 5 kilometers northwest of Melbourne's Central Business District, encompassing residential areas, commercial spaces, and the notable racecourse grounds.
The area received its name from James Watson in 1839, who named it after Flemington Estate in Scotland when he purchased land in Port Phillip.
The population of 7,025 residents includes many descendants of European immigrants who arrived during the 1950s, particularly from Italy, shaping the local community.
Two railway stations, Newmarket on the Craigieburn line and Flemington Bridge on the Upfield line, connect residents to Melbourne's public transportation network.
The suburb contains a mix of housing types, including weatherboard cottages, terrace houses, and public housing estates that make up 24 percent of residences.
