[edit] History

Main article: City of Monash History

The City of Monash was once hunting grounds for the Bunurong people. The City of Monash, named after World War I commander Sir John Monash, was created on 15 December 1994 when the Kennett Liberal government amalgamated local councils all over Victoria, merging a substantial portion of the former City of Oakleigh with the whole of the former City of Waverley.
