Historical information

In 1892 the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works established the Metropolitan Sewage Farm on the western bank of the Werribee River, to treat the effluent from Melbourne's new sewerage system.This area was isolated and too far from Melbourne, so the Cocoroc village was built to house the workers.
