About Thomastown
Thomastown is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, located 16 kilometres north of the central business district within the City of Whittlesea. Established in 1848 by the Thomas family for market gardening, the suburb shares its area with Westgarthtown, a historical German settlement founded in 1850 by William Westgarth. The area is bounded by Darebin Creek to the east and Merri Creek to the north, with heritage-listed farm buildings and the Westgarthtown cemetery and Lutheran church reflecting its early colonial history.
