Tohme Lawyers – legal leaders near Pascoe Vale

Pascoe Vale is a suburb located approximately 10 kilometres north of Melbourne’s central business district, within the City of Merri-bek (formerly part of the City of Moreland).

The suburb’s name is derived from John Pascoe Fawkner, one of Melbourne’s founding figures.

In the 1830s, Fawkner acquired land in the area and established a farm he named “Pascoeville.” The name combined his middle name, Pascoe, with “vale,” meaning valley, to reflect the area’s landscape along the Moonee Ponds Creek.

During the mid-19th century, Pascoe Vale was primarily agricultural, with farming and grazing as the main economic activities. The fertile land and proximity to Melbourne made it suitable for orchards and market gardens.

Historic Pascoe Vale Landmarks

Pascoe Vale, while primarily a residential suburb, features several historic landmarks and buildings that reflect its heritage and contribute to its community identity:

1. Wentworth House – one of Melbourne’s oldest surviving houses – La Rose but now called Wentworth House – is located in Pascoe Vale South. It is thought to have been built in 1843 and is the 2nd oldest house in Victoria.
2. Pascoe Vale Primary School – Since the original two-storey heritage school building was constructed in 1929, it has undergone minimal to no refurbishment works
3. Pascoe Vale Railway Station, originally opened in 1885, the station improved accessibility to Melbourne, spurring residential growth. Its existence reflects the expansion of Melbourne’s suburban railway network in the late 19th century.
4. Sydney Road – became a major route connecting Melbourne to the northern regions.

In the early 20th century, Pascoe Vale began transitioning from a rural area to a suburban community. The post-World War II housing boom led to rapid residential development as returning soldiers and their families sought housing. New schools, parks, and community facilities were built to accommodate the growing population.
