[edit] Education

Kingsville is home to Kingsville Primary School and its attached kindergarten. The nearby Kingsville Kindergarten is in West Footscray, as is the Corpus Christi Catholic School. 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 1990's the original name of Kingsville returned to the "wedge" of West Footscray situated between Geelong Road, Williamstown Road and Somerville Road. The nearby Kingsville Primary School is in Yarraville.
