History

From the 1870s to 1920s, the central part of Melbourne was home to mostly medical professionals who had established practices along Collins Street and Spring Street and before the 1960s, only a handful of permanent residents lived in the Spring Street area and St Kilda Road in the 3004 area. The area was largely unpopular for residents and council policies did not permit development of apartment style housing in the area. Melbourne, now the capital city of the state of Victoria in Australia, was founded in 1835. ...

St Kilda Road was annexed in the 1960s and given the postcode of Melbourne 3004 to stimulate office development along the strip and reduce pressure on overdevelopment of the Hoddle Grid. The result was the demolition of many of the street's grand mansions.

Sport

Most sporting clubs do not represent Melbourne the suburb, but instead Melbourne the city. An exception is the Melbourne Cricket Club and Melbourne Football Club (its offshoot) both based at the Melbourne Cricket Ground which was built in Jolimont, adjacent to the city but a locality of the suburb of East Melbourne. Both were the first clubs of their respective sports and established in a time when the city's population was still very small and limited to a handful of inner suburbs. As a result, the Melbourne Cricket Club has a fairly exclusive membership, whilst the Melbourne Football Club, although bearing the name of the city, is associated by the supporters of other suburban clubs as representing the central suburb and its elitist residents. As a result, despite its rich tradition and early success, it is one of the least supported clubs in the VFL/AFL, but had intense rivalries with the adjacent inner suburbs such as the Collingwood Football Club and early out of town rival Geelong Football Club.
