Victoria Park’s name is believed to be a nod to Queen Victoria, and derives from the Victoria Park Estate, which is a development that took place in the area in the 1890s.
The gentrification and close proximity of Victoria Park to the Perth CBD changed Victoria Park’s reputation of being a working man’s district, as city workers sought residence close to the Perth CBD. It was declared a municipality in 1897, and was amalgamated into the City of Perth in 1917.
Today, Victoria Park is a leafy suburb with a rich architectural heritage visible through the many Edwardian, Victorian and 1920s-style homes. It has expanded to include an increasing number of apartments and townhouses.
Victoria Park has a number of parks, green spaces and bike tracks, and a vast array of multicultural restaurants keeps locals entertained and satisfied.
