From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Box Hill is a multicultural suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Box Hill is located in the Whitehorse City council. It boasts the second largest retail and office precinct outside downtown Melbourne.
Box Hill was first settled by the squatter Arundel Wrighte, formerly of Van Diemen's Land, who in 1838 took up a pastoral lease on the land he had previously explored in the Bushy Creek area. The first permanent settlers, Thomas Toogood and his wife, purchased 5,000 acres in 1841, and Wrighte built a house on his property "Marionvale" in 1844. The Pioneers' Memorial, which can be found in front of the town hall, is made from a chimney stone taken from Wrighte's original house. It was not until after 1850, however, that Crown lands were subdivided and sold. Traffic along a main road running through the district encouraged the building of a hotel at Box Hill in 1853. Its owner named it the White Horse hotel, and the name was bestowed on the road. The hotel was destroyed by fire in 1898, yet a statue of a white horse was saved from the debris, and presented to the Box Hill council in 1920. It now stands outside the council offices. In 1861 a post office was opened at Box Hill, the first official use of the name. The postmaster proposed the name, derived from Box Hill in Surrey, England, near his birthplace.
