History of Mulgrave In 1839, Scottish builder Thomas Napier started a small settlement in Mulgrave. His homestead was located at present-day Jells Park. Soon it came to have several homesteads and grew as a rich farming area. Mulgrave became a district in 1857 and got a post office in 1869. It was included in the Shire of Oakleigh between 1871 and 1891 before being made a shire. Following many territorial changes, the suburb acquired its present shape in 1961.
