The
Society has a number of maps, early sub-division plans
and aerial photographs of the district. Many of the
streets in the Waverley area originate from our early
pioneers, while the name "Waverley" and some
particular streets relate back to Walter Scott's Waverley
novels. If you are searching for the locality: Amstel,
Ashwood, Black Flat, Brandon Park, Brentwood, Burwood, Chadstone, Clayton North,
Glen Waverley, Jordanville, Mount Waverley, Mulgrave,
Notting Hill, Pinewood, Springvale North, Syndal, Talbot
Colony, Tally Ho, Waverley Park, Wellington, Whitburn or
Wheelers Hill, then maybe we have the information
you seek.
Please note that the City of Monash is covered by two
historical societies. For queries about the Oakleigh district and
surrounds please visit our sister society
History Monash.
History Monash Inc is the
former Oakleigh & District Historical Society Inc., established in 1961.
Their volunteers are dedicated to studying, collecting, preserving,
exhibiting and publishing local history within the City of Monash,
especially that of Oakleigh and surrounding districts such as
Hughesdale, Huntingdale and Clayton.You can search the origin of street names in
the Waverley area by accessing the on-line database accessible

you can add to the information we would welcome your
contributions).
