South Yarra was originally inhabited by the [[Wurundjeri]] tribe of the [[Kulin nation]].
The area was settled by European settlers in the 1830s, around the time of the establishment of Melbourne. During the 1840s, it became popular with wealthy citizens of Melbourne as a suburban retreat from the town. Several large houses were built and, together with neighbouring [[Toorak, Victoria|Toorak]], it maintained its upper-class reputation into the post-[[World War II|Second World War]] period. South Yarra Post Office was open briefly in 1854, then reopened on 21 June 1858.<ref name = "a">{{Citation| last =
