Chirnside Park’s History
Chirnside Park (Postcode 3116) is on the outskirts of Melbourne, Victoria; it was not until 1962 that the name of Chirnside Park was adopted when the company (Community Centres Pty. Ltd) and the developers, Willmore and Randell, proposed the Chirnside Park development. The name of Chirnside Park was Mooroolbark Park at this time. The developer's advertisements indicated the name Chirnside Park was to honour Thomas Chirnside who founded the famous Chirnside Empire in 1839. The gracious buildings of the Chirnside Park Country Club stand as a memorial to the pioneer spirit of those early days. During the 1970's, the post office took a ballot of the people’s preference for a name for the area. After a majority vote, Chirnside Park 3116 was created. Today the population of Chirnside is 9, 0092 females 4,551 males 4,541. Chirnside Park has lots for the family reading cinema, shopping centre, kids indoor playground, the new platinum restaurant and many more...
