Tullamarine - Aboriginal History


The traditional owners of the area of Tullamarine are the Wurrundjeri people. The name 'Tullamarine' is believed to be from the name of a young boy from the Wurrundjeri clan, Tullamareena, according to writings attributed to an advisor to Robert Hoddle, the government surveyor in the area.
 

Tullamarine - History


In 1842, the Tullamarine Parish was subdivided into farm lots but did not sell until 1852. Three schools were open by 1864 and by 1865 Tullamarine had a post office and a hotel, and a population of some 200 souls. A church, tennis and football clubs and a progress association were active in Tullamarine in the 1930 with the main industries being hay production and grazing. In the 1950's the Federal Government announced that it was considering a site north -west of the Tullamarine for a new airport; land acquisition began in the early 1960s; during 1967 - 1970 Tullamarine became divided by the new freeway to the Airport, with Gladstone Park being the east side of the freeway and Tullamarine the west.
