By the 1800s, it began to develop as a residential area, characterized by its grand Victorian homes and tree-lined streets. The suburb soon became a hub for community activity, with churches, schools, and local businesses flourishing. Its strategic location and transport links made it an attractive place for settlers, laying the foundation for its growth into a vibrant and diverse suburb in the heart of Sydney.
