Info

T OWN P ROFILE The Town of Vincent is named after Vincent Street, which is a major road through the centre of the Town. It is also the location of the Town’s Council Chambers and administrative offices. Vincent Street is believed to be named after George Vincent, the Chief Draftsman in the Lands Department and original grantee of land on the north side, east from Charles Street. He named it after himself on issue of the first Crown Grant of Perth c.1876. The municipality includes the suburbs of North Perth, Leederville, Highgate and Mount Hawthorn, and parts of East Perth, West Perth, Perth, Mount Lawley and Coolbinia. Although only new, within its boundaries Vincent holds a rich and varied history. It is a place of cultural diversity with residents whose origins lie in places like Europe and Asia, and forty-five per cent of whom were born overseas. Reflections of this variety are found in the number of religions or spiritual groups that have representation within the Town, among them Christianity (18 denominations), Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Hinduism. There are busy and popular commercial areas such as Beaufort, Fitzgerald and Oxford Streets, and Scarborough Beach Road, and peaceful suburbs where old and new lie side by side. There is more than a hundred years of built history and heritage within the boundaries of the municipality – and all of it, whether a century, a decade, or just a few years old, is important to the Town of Vincent. All of it contributes to the colour and personality of Vincent, enriching the lives of the people who live here and of those just passing through.
