Keilor began its existence in the late 1840s and was officially laid out in 1850. During the goldrush it grew substantially as a stopover point for travel to the goldfields. St Albans was first established as a township in 1887. The town was promoted as an attractive location for professionals who had easy access to central Melbourne with the newly constructed railway station. Development of St Albans slowed however with the depression of the late 1890s. Sunshine was also subdivided originally in the 1880s land boom, when the railway junction attracted industry and population. Development from the original settlements of Keilor, St Albans and Sunshine spread rapidly after the Second World War as significant numbers of overseas migrants settled in the area. Rapid growth took place during the 1970s and 1980s. The population increased during the 1990s, with growth continuing between 2001 and 2011. The population grew from about 137,000 in 1991 to about 182,000 in 2011. Much of the growth during this period has been in Delahey, Sydenham and Taylors Lakes, and more recently in Cairnlea, Deer Park and Derrimut.
