History


Mont Albert Post Office opened on 1 August 1914. A Mont Albert North Post Office opened in 1957 and closed in 1993.[4]

The town is most likely named after the husband of Queen Victoria, Albert, Prince Consort (1819–1861).[5] The local shopping centre (Hamilton Street (pictured to the right) began to be built in about 1913, immediately south of the railway station. A tram service along Whitehorse Road, to the suburb's north-eastern corner, was opened in 1915. Houses between the tram and railway lines are characterised as Edwardian, English Domestic Revival and Arts and Crafts traditions.[5]
