Historical information

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.
