History

The railway station is in many ways responsible for the suburb's existence: before the opening of the railway to the city in 1882, the area was a semi-rural area. Even then, it was occupied by the well to do. Many of these early residents, and in some cases, their properties, are remembered in the street names of the suburb, notably Logan Street and Monomeath Avenue. Year 1882 (MDCCCLXXXII) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Friday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ...

The first subdivision in the area came in 1885, when Michael Logan created the 'Claremont Park Estate' within the area of Canterbury Road, Bryson Street, Prospect Hill Road and Logan Street.

At around this time, Edward Snowden settled on 7 hectares in the area centred on a manor he named Monomeath. In 1900 Snowden's estate was subdivided and sold off to form what is now Monomeath Avenue, and residents such as notable architect Percey Kernot and prominent citizen Geroge Coghill moved in. The road was paved in 1911 and oak trees were planted along its sides. Over time it has gained much cachet in Australian society, famed for its wealthy and well-known residents.^[3]

Culture

Canterbury is regarded as one of Melbourne's most exclusive suburbs, particularly the "Golden Mile" - a term referring to that part of Mont Albert Road running west from Balwyn Road and the avenues that connect it to Canterbury Road, including Monomeath Avenue, which is lined by huge century old oak trees and grand ornate mansions and is home to many notable politicians and leaders of business and industry.

Other blue-chip locales along this stretch include Alexandra Avenue, Hopetoun Avenue, Victoria Avenue and The Ridge. It consistently ranks in the top 3 suburbs for average house prices in Melbourne.
