History

In 1839, Farquhar McCrae purchased 600 acres of land west of Sydney Road. He named his holding 'Moreland' after his grandfather's estate in Jamaica. http://www.wikinorthia.net.au/index.php/City_of_Moreland

In 1858, the land was subdivided following Farquhar McCrae's death. http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/places/show_history/56084 This subdivision ran from Sydney Road to the Moonee Ponds Creek, with Moreland Road in the centre. http://nla.gov.au/nla.map-rm3872
