A brief history of Brighton East…
By 1843, barely three years after Henry Dendy had his first land sales at Brighton, there were enough farmers settled east of Dendy’s village to call their area ‘Little Brighton’. Catholic settlers opened a school in 1848, the forerunner of St Finbar’s primary school in Centre Road. In the 1880s Brighton East was mostly market gardens and farms, particularly near South Road.
A tram line and a train line to Brighton concentrated subdivisional activity in that area. In 1925 a tram line was extended down Hawthorn Road from Glen Huntly to North Road, which was in response to subdivisional activity between North and Centre Roads. Between 1922 and 1928 all the land in that area was subdivided for housing, and substantial activity occurred further south. By the late 1930s the whole of Brighton East’s street pattern was established.
