History

In 1856 Thomas Attenborough bought land in the area and named his house Dingley Grange, after Dingley Hall which had existed near the town of Melbourn in his native Northamptonshire, England. A farming community developed, relatively remote from either the bayside or Gippsland railway lines, moving into market gardens and poultry to supply metropolitan markets. There was no identifiable centre to the area apart from Christ Church (1873) at the corner of Centre and Old Dandenong Roads, with its attractive architecture and bell tower. Not to be confused with the city of Melbourne in Australia Melbourn is a large village in the far south west of Cambridgeshire, England. ... Northamptonshire (abbreviated Northants or Nhants) is a landlocked county in central England with a population of 629,676 (2001 census). ... For other uses, see England (disambiguation). ...


A family of five brothers - the Gartsides - solved the problem of vegetable gluts by opening a cannery in about 1920. The cannery employed up to fifty local people.

A progress association was formed in 1947, and a recreation reserve acquired in 1954. Dandenong is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. ...


Urbanisation in Dingley began in the early 1960s. A small shopping centre, school, kindergarten, reserve and, later, Sunday Markets on the reserve created a village atmosphere which resulted in the official change of name.


Two more primary schools, one Catholic, opened later, along with the Spring Park Public Golf course and nearby tennis-courts complex. Near the Moorabbin Airport is an industrial zone set in a garden landscape, separated form the Dingley Village residential area by a reservation for the Mornington Peninsula Freeway.
