Some interesting info about
Geelong. Geelong is a port city located on Corio
Bay and the Barwon River, in the state of Victoria,
Australia, 75 kilometres (47 mi) south-west of the state
capital; Melbourne. It is the second most populated city in
Victoria and the fifth most populated non-capital city in
Australia. The urban area runs from the plains of Lara in
the north to the rolling hills of Waurn Ponds to the south,
with the bay to the east and hills to the west, an area with
an estimated population of 160,991 people. It is the
administrative centre for the City of Greater Geelong
municipality which covers the urban and surrounding areas
and is home to over 191,000 people. An inhabitant of Geelong
has been known as a Geelongite, or a Pivotonian, in the
past.
Geelong was named in 1837 by Governor Richard Burke, with
the name derived from the local Wathaurong Aboriginal name
for the region, Jillong, thought to mean 'land' or 'cliffs'.
The area was first surveyed in 1838, three weeks after
Melbourne, and the Post Office was open by June 1840 (the
second to open in the Port Phillip District). The first
woolstore was erected in this period and it became the port
for the wool industry of the Western District. During the
gold rush Geelong experienced a brief boom as the main port
to the rich goldfields of the Ballarat district. The city
then diversified into manufacturing and during the 1860s it
became one of the largest manufacturing centres in Australia
with its wool mills, ropeworks, and paper mills.
It was proclaimed a city in 1910, with industrial growth
from this time until the 1960s establishing the city as a
manufacturing centre for the state, and saw the population
grow to over 100,000 by the mid 1960s. Population increases
over the last decade were due to growth in service
industries, as the manufacturing sector has declined.
Redevelopment of the inner city has occurred since the
1990s, as well as gentrification of inner suburbs and
currently has a population growth rate higher than the
national average.
It is known for being home to car manufacturer Ford
Australia and also the Geelong Football Club, nicknamed The
Cats. |
