 History of Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melbourne began as a collection of tents and huts on the banks of the Yarra, yet within ten years, because of its economic position as a centre of pastoralism and land speculation it had established many stone and brick public and financial buildings.
Melbourne's population reached 280,000 in 1880 and 490,000 in 1890.
Melbourne became the centre of the Commonwealth Public Service, the defence forces, the diplomatic corps (admittedly very small until World War II), and also to a large extent of the legal profession, all of which reinforced the supremacy of Melbourne University and exclusive schools such as Melbourne Grammar School and Scotch College.
