Pascoe Vale

Pascoe Vale, west of Coburg, is 9 km north of central Melbourne. It was named after Pascoeville, the property owned by John Pascoe Fawkner and bounded approximately by the Moonee Ponds Creek, Gaffney Street, Northumberland Road and the western prolongation of Boundary Road. Fawkner acquired the property in 1839 as one of 11 lots in the subdivision of the Coburg district by the government surveyor, Robert Hoddle.
