  Coopers History of Prahran: Betty Malone Introduction to Sally Wilde   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
From the first, Prahran was a district of sharp contrasts in its geography, its economy, its districts, streets and people, and this diversity, which has been intensified rather than modified in the 20th century, is clearly illustrated in the community which evolved in the 19th century and which is still evolving.
Prahran's landlords being no better or worse than those elsewhere, Prahran soon became a mishmash of large holdings, small suburban streets and lanes, strips of small shops, hotels and industrial plants, all separated by bushland, cleared areas of farms and gardens and acres of swamp.
Prahran, Windsor and Hawksburn State Schools drew their pupils from the small streets of Prahran and Windsor and both boys and girls left at the age of fourteen or so to be apprenticed to a trade, to find work in a shop or factory, or as a last resort, to become domestic servants.

Prahran was competitive in its debut season, winning 8 of its 21 matches to finish in 5th position out of 8 clubs.
Prahran went into the match as warm favourites following a 48 point trouncing of the Borough in the 2nd semi final but as so often is the case the grand final proved to be an altogether different affair.
The next dramatic occurrence in Prahran's history came in 1959 when the club was sensationally debarred from the VFA after Prahran Council refused to allow the Two Blues' seconds side access to Toorak Park when the seniors were playing away.
