History

The first real estate land release (Battye Map Collection 101C 23) was in 1925, bounded by Cunningham, Millington, Troy, Robinson and Stubbs.
The Daglish railway platform was opened in 1924, named after the former Mayor, MLA (1901-1911) and Premier (1904-05). The Council acquired the railway reserve west of the station in 1925 for a new suburb, also called Daglish. The boundary of the first land release was Stubbs Terrace, Cunningham Terrace, Millington Avenue, Troy Terrace and Robinson Terrace. The first streets to be developed c1930-1935 were those closest to the station - Stubbs Terrace, followed by Munsie, McCallum, Lutey, Wilcock and Richardson. Troy, Robinson and Cunningham Streets were developed c1935-1945. Most blocks were bought by young couples keen to establish a first home, and many men were railway workers attracted by the convenience of transport to the Midland workshops. The 'garden suburb' of Daglish was a more expensive area then West Subiaco (now Shenton Park), due to the large blocks, and proximity to the railway line, central shopping area and KEMH. All the houses were built of brick, and the larger homes and extensive gardens made Daglish an exclusive and private area to live in. In the 1930s the Workers Home Board extended the original Daglish subdivision and established workers' homes.
