Car Hire / Rental Caulfield
With a population of approx. 5,500 and located just 11.5kms from Melbourne CBD, Caulfield was proclaimed a city in 1913.
It is rumored that the district gained it's name from an early pioneer John Caulfield, one of the founders of the School of Fine Arts and Mechanics.
Historically the area was a great source of timber and a resting place for cattle en route from Gippsland to Melbourne. The natural springs in the area made this an ideal stop over.
The railway line through Caulfield opened in 1879 and this encouraged the development of housing estates. Between 1913 and 1920 the population grew rapidly, and the council enforced a brick only covenant in many areas of Caulfield. The red brick housing is a feature in the suburbs today.
Glen Eira Mansion was converted to a General Military Hospital during World War 1 and after the war remained a Repatriation Hospital for disable solders.
Caulfield is famous for the racecourse which is 10kms to the south-east of Melbourne. Horse racing began here in 1859 and in 1876 the Victorian Amateur Turf Club was formed. The Caulfield Cup is the first race of the spring calendar and is held in October each year.
Today Caulfield has a large Jewish population and the neighbouring suburb of Elsternwick was the first choice for the Jewish Holocaust Museum and Research Centre. The Museum is open Monday to Saturday.
