Signage St Kilda, Melbourne

St Kilda is a suburb (neighborhood) of the
metropolitan area of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 6 km south-east of Melbourne’s Central Business
District. Its local government area is the City of Port Phillip. At
the 2011 Census, St
Kilda had a population of 17,795.

St Kilda was named after a schooner, Lady of St Kilda (which
moored at the main beach
for much of 1841) by Charles La
Trobe, and the ship’s master and early settler Lieutenant James Ross Lawrence. ^[2]

During the Victorian and Edwardian eras, St Kilda became a
favoured suburb of Melbourne’s elite, and many palatial mansions were constructed along its hills and waterfront.
Shortly after the turn of the 20th century, St Kilda served a similar function for Melburnians as did Coney Island to the residents of New York
City and its history draws an interesting parallel.^[3] Densely populated postwar St
Kilda became Melbourne’s red-light
district, home to low-cost rooming
houses. Since the late 1960s, St Kilda has become known for its culture of bohemianism and as home to many prominent artists, musicians
and subcultures, including punks,^[4]LGBT^{[citation

needed]}. While some of these groups still maintain a presence in St Kilda, in
recent years the district has experienced rapid gentrification pushing many lower socio-economic groups out
to other areas.^[5][6][7]

St Kilda is home to many of Melbourne’s famous visitor attractions including Luna Park, the Esplanade Hotel, Acland Street and
Fitzroy Street.
It is home to St Kilda
Beach, Melbourne’s most famous beach, several renowned theatres and several of Melbourne’s big events and
festivals.
