Historical Evolution
Henry Elgar’s Special Survey, conducted in 1841, marked the inception of Balwyn as a region. This extensive survey, spanning eight square miles, was later divided into smaller farms and grazing areas. In the late 1850’s, a Scottish editor and journalist named Andrew Murray seized an opportunity to purchase a parcel from the subdivision. Choosing the site that now accommodates Fintona Girls’ School on Balwyn Road, Murray constructed a residence known as Balwyn.
