Originally a halfway point between Perth and Fremantle, Claremont transformed with the opening of the railway in 1881. It became a fashionable residential area for the wealthy in the late 19th century, leading to the construction of grand Federation-style homes.
Today, it serves as the premier shopping and educational heart of the Western Suburbs, balancing its historic 'leafy' reputation with high-density urban renewal.
