A brief history of Malvern and Malvern East!

Named after Malvern Hill in England, Malvern’s development was primarily driven by the arrival of the railway in the late 1850s. This transportation link connected Malvern to Melbourne, leading to increased settlement and growth.

One of the significant developments in Malvern’s history was the land boom of the 1880s. During this period, grand Victorian and Edwardian-style homes were built, many of which still stand today, showcasing the suburb’s architectural heritage. Malvern’s tree-lined streets and spacious properties attracted affluent residents.

The neighbouring Malvern East began to evolve as a separate entity in the early 20th century, however it too experienced a housing boom during the interwar period. That saw Californian bungalows and Art Deco homes developed.
