History

Kingsville was the original name for the entire West Yarraville region. This region was later renamed either Yarraville (south of Somerville Road) or West Footscray (north of Somerville Road), with South Kingsville retaining its original name. In the late 1990s the original name of Kingsville returned to the "wedge" of West Footscray with its present boundaries.

Kingsville Post Office opened on 1 January 1915.^[2]
