History

For over a hundred years from the 1800s until the mid 1900s, Humberlea was a flourishing farming community. The north part of this neighbourhood above Wallasey Avenue and Flindon Road was owned by the Griffith brothers, who had farms on both sides of Weston Road. In the 1940s, the Griffith farms were sold to the federal government for the construction of the Humberlea War Veterans subdivision. World War II Veterans were given a quarter acre estate on which they built simple frame abodes. These residences have since been subdivided although many of the original properties still remain.

The streets around the current day Acacia Park are part of a small residential pocket constructed in the early 1900s. This neighbourhood was previously known as Albion Park and is now considered part of the Humberlea community. At the south edge of Humberlea was the Caulfield dairy farm. Not surprisingly, the cattle grazed on fields west of Weston Road while the Caulfield barn stood on the east side of Weston Road. This farm ran until the 1950s when it was sold to developers. The subdivision of the old Caulfield farm led to the conclusion of the present day area.
