Cheap parking spaces in St Kilda for rent

St Kilda is located just 6 kilometres outside of the Melbourne CBD, and is known for its football team, the amusement park Luna Park and the popular Fitzroy Street.

The history of the name comes from the superintendent of the Port Phillip District of New South Wales in 1841, Charles La Trobe, who officially named it St Kilda upon seeing the name of Sir Thomas Acland’s schooner, Lady of St Kilda. Over the years, settlers began to come in, prompting the building of a quarantine station for Scottish immigrants to come through before they were able to settle in the St Kilda area.

St Kilda experienced the Land Boom towards the end of the 19th century, where mansions and hotels in large quantities began springing up all around the land but more especially around Fitzroy, Grey and Acland Streets as they were close to the seaside and provided settlers with the cooling breezes from the ocean.

When the railway was laid down in 1857, business began to pick up, with people coming in from the city to visit one of the many sea baths in the area, as well as the St Kilda Cup which was held and run on a racecourse within the suburb. After the Depression in the 1890s, many of the more wealthy residents decided to move to more exclusive suburbs closer to the city centre, as the seaside became more popular with entertaining the middle class.

Luna Park was one such entertainment site that was built in the beginning of the 20th century. It closed during the first World War, where it reopened in 1923 with new rides and attractions. Today, it’s a great place for the family, friends and couples to go to ana have some fun for the day.
