One of Melbourne’s oldest suburbs, the area was first settled by Europeans in the 1840s when it was known as Emerald Hill. Quickly developed, Modern South Melbourne separated from Melbourne during the Gold Rush in 1852.

Much of its Victorian-era architecture still survives and, along with the popular market, helps give South Melbourne its historic character.
