This booklet celebrates the 150th year of local Government in Keilor.The 150th year of local government in Keilor marks the anniversary of Keilor’s first incorporation as a local governing body, a milestone that traces back to 3 March 1863, when Keilor was formally established as a Road District. Subsequent milestones: 22 December 1871 — Becomes the Shire of Keilor. 29 April 1961 — Proclaimed the City of Keilor. 15 December 1994 — City of Keilor abolished during statewide council amalgamations. So, the 150th anniversary in 2013 celebrated the beginning of Keilor’s civic identity, long before it became a shire, a city, or was later divided into Brimbank, Moonee Valley, and Hume City Councils.keilor, history

From archeological findings of aboriginal existence in the 40,000 years ago, to European history evolving over four distinct stages. Firstly, as a pastoral area, then as a stopover on the way to the goldfields. After the goldrush, Keilor became an area of rural activities. From the 1950's, available land and employment opportunities brought new citizens to Keilor from many different cultural backgrounds. Keilor has retained its rural heritage whilst embracing the features of a modern municipality. This video illustrates why Keilor is called the "The Best Country in Town"Keilor Our Heritage Produced by Keilor Historical Societykeilor

Paperback booknon-fictionArticle Page 85: Batman's Treaties by Rex Harcourt On 6th June 1835, John Batman negotiated two treaties with the Aborigines of Port Phillip. The main treaty, the "Melbourne Deed", was for 500,000 acres and covered not only land in the Melbourne Area but also that stretched along the western arm of Port Phillip Bay to include the present city of Geelong. The "Geelong Deed" of 100,000 acres skirted Geelong to the south as far as the south coast of Victoria and included the Bellarine Peninsula which was then known as Indented Head. Sunshine & District was included in the "Melbourne Deed".

The Sydenham level crossing gates at Keilor–Melton Road operated from the mid 1800s. The railway crossing was required when the Bendigo line opened in 1859. The crossing was a simple gated level crossing that existed to allow farm traffic across the line. The nearby station was called Keilor Road. In 1887, the Keilor Road Station was renamed to Sydenham. The crossing remained essential for farmers moving between the Keilor Plains and the Calder district. The gates remained manually operated, with railway staff responsible for opening and closing the gates. These gates operated until 2002, and when the original Sydenham Station closed, the gates were replaced with traffic lights In 2018, the entire crossing was permanently removed with a grade separation as part of the State Government Level Crossing Removal Project.sydenham railway station, keilor - melton road, sydenham

Kealba is a suburb of Brimbank City Council, but prior to the Victorian Council amalgamations in 1994, Kealba was a suburb of City of Keilor. The Principal Mr. Leo Webb of the local St. Albans Park High School, requested a name change to the school to avoid confusion with the nearby St. Albans High School. A community group was formed to rename the school and the surrounding area. In 1970, the name Kealba was chosen. The name is a portmanteau of Keilor and St Albans — the two suburbs that border it.Alie Missen's document captures a brief history of the area from the early days of being a pastoral district, to today, a modern suburb.Just a Little Historykealba, history, st. albans east

This is one of two Hume and Hovell Cairns erected in the City of Brimbank. The Sydenham cairn was erected on 19 December 1924, exactly 100 years after the explorers passed through the district. It was built by residents of St Albans and Sydenham as part of a statewide centenary program that installed 37 monuments along the expedition route. The monument has been moved twice due to road works as it was originally on the north‑west corner of Taylors Road & Sydenham Road. The first time it was relocated it was moved to position very close to the original position. The second time it was moved approximately 200 metres in a southerly direction and is now located at the Keilor Plains Station (East Esplanade). In November 2024, the Sydenham & District Historical Society held a 100‑year anniversary event for the cairn and a 200‑year anniversary of the 1824 expedition. Attendees included City of Brimbank Mayor Thuy Dang, Members of Natalie Suleyman MP’s office and local historians including Karen Schmidt and Bruce Lancashire. 5623.01 - Sydenham Hume And Hovell Monument 2nd April 2020 Photo 02.JPG 5623.02 - Sydenham Hume And Hovell Monument 2nd April 2020 Photo 03.JPG 5623.03 - Sydenham Hume And Hovell Monument 2nd April 2020 Photo 01.JPG Hume & Hovell passed here Dec. 19th 1824.
