Footscray West

Footscray West is a residential and industrial suburb 8 km west of central Melbourne. It lies between Footscray and Braybrook, and for a considerable period of time its western area was known as Tottenham.

Footscray was an early township formed on the west side of the Maribyrnong River and Braybrook was a village on the river 4 km west of Footscray. The space between the two places was rural until well into the twentieth century.
