Its local government area is the City of Glen Eira. At the 2016 Census Elsternwick had a population of 10,349. Administrative divisionIn terms of its cadastral division, Elsternwick is in the parish of Prahran within the County of Bourke. LocationElsternwick is bounded by the Nepean Highway, Elster Avenue, Kooyong Road, Glen Eira Road, and Hotham Street (the continuation of Williams Road). Although no longer officially in "Elsternwick", the cricket ground, originally the home of the Elsternwick Cricket Club, and currently known as the Sportscover Arena, is located within the larger area known as Elsternwick Park — located at the junction of the Nepean Highway and Glen Huntly Road — as is, also, the Elsternwick Park Golf Club, which plays out of the Brighton Public Golf Course (see Kingston Heath Golf Club), have always been connected with the name "Elsternwick". NameIn the same way that Ripponlea took its name from the "Rippon Lea Estate" of Sir Frederick Sargood, Elsternwick took its name from the largest property in the district: Charles Ebden's house Elster (Elster is German for "magpie" de:Elster).[2] The area was previously known as Red Bluff. The creek nearby became known as the Elster Creek; and, when a village grew up on the creek, the Anglo-Saxon suffix ‘wick’, meaning village, was added.[3] HistoryThe Elsternwick village was proposed in 1851 . Elsternwick was originally situated across three municipalities - Caulfield, Brighton and St Kilda. At the end of the 1880s unsuccessful attempts were made for Elsternwick to become administratively independent. Today it is in the Local Government Area of the City of Glen Eira. The postcode is 3185. Elsternwick village was surveyed in 1856, and Elsternwick Post Office opened on 22 June 1860.[4] In 1861 a railway line, operated by the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay United Railway Company, was built from Melbourne to Brighton, via Elsternwick. The Elsternwick train station is on the Sandringham metropolitan train line Glen Huntly Road. The first site of Caulfield Grammar School, founded in 1881, was adjacent to the Elsternwick railway station. In the 1880s, the Elsternwick railway station was also the Melbourne end of the railway line to the large-scale sugar beet processing mill at Rosstown (see Rosstown Railway) — now known as Carnegie — and beyond. This railway was seldom used, and it ceased to function in 1916. A tramline was opened along Glen Huntly Road in 1889. Another tramline, running between Elsternwick and Point Ormond, was opened on 4 June 1915,[5] and was closed on 22 October 1960.[6] TodayGlen Huntly Road in Elsternwick has a variety of cafés and restaurants, and Elsternwick is the home of perhaps the best-known brothel in Australia, and certainly Melbourne; Daily Planet, which was the first in the world to be listed on a stock exchange (the Australian Securities Exchange).[7]Hattam (Mens and Boys Wear) Stores, at 383 Glenhuntly Road, a long, narrow shop, is one of the last locations in Australia that still has a Lamson "Rapid Wire" Cash Carrier in place; it connects three locations in the lower section of the shop with the central cashier's desk.[8]The 2017 season of The Block was located in Elsternwick in Regent St. PopulationIn the 2016 Census, there were 10,349 people in Elsternwick. 65.3% of people were born in Australia. The next most common countries of birth were England 3.9%, New Zealand 1.9%, India 1.7%, South Africa 1.7% and China 1.5%. 73.0% of people spoke only English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Greek 2.6%, Hebrew 2.0%, Russian 1.9%, Yiddish 1.8% and Mandarin 1.7%. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 35.5%, Catholic 18.0%, and Judaism 17.8%.[1] TransportElsternwick railway station, part of the Sandringham railway line, is located on Riddell Parade next to Glen Huntly Road. For a number of years (in the late 1800s and early 1900s) it was also where the Rosstown Railway linked up with the Sandringham railway line. Melbourne Tram Route No. 67 links Elsternwick to the Melbourne CBD. It travels along Glen Huntly Road from Carnegie, through Glen Huntly and South Caulfield to Elsternwick and, then, via Brighton Road and St Kilda Road to the CBD, via Swanston Street. It terminates at the tram stop outside the University of Melbourne University, in Carlton. SportThe Elsternwick Cricket Club was founded in August 1901. The Elsternwick Main Oval, now known as Sportscover Arena or Elsternwick Park, was established shortly after the club's foundation. The 'Wickas', as the club is affectionately known, plays in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association.[9] Golfers play at the course of the Elsternwick Park Golf Club - better known as Royal Elsternwick - on Glen Huntly Road.[10] The Elsternwick Croquet Club, founded in 1911, is situated in the Hopetoun Gardens. SchoolsState SchoolsThe Elsternwick Primary School — once officially located in "Brickwood Street, Elsternwick" — is now, without any shift in its physical position, officially located in Murphy Street, Brighton ([https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Elsternwick+Primary+School/@-37.89214,144.9975227,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x4e15c15b558f23e5!8m2!3d-37.89214!4d144.9975227]); and, consequently, the suburb currently has no government schools.
