Have you ever heard of Jacana? It’s a charming little suburb of Melbourne, and its story is full of interesting twists and turns. Jacana is a suburb that was shaped by the Housing Commission of Victoria. The suburb was established in the 1950s. They named it after Jacana Avenue, even though it’s not actually within Jacana itself. The streets in the southern part of Jacana were laid out in 1923. They were offered for sale on land owned by a farmer named Duncan Kennedy. That’s right, the Housing Commission rebuilt some of the streets, including ones they thought were funny, like Emu Parade and Sunset Boulevard. They even named some streets after famous sports stars who participated in the 1956 Olympic Games. They built most of the housing stock in the 1950s. Jacana’s story is full of little tidbits you wouldn’t expect. The early development of Jacana was not without its challenges. They tried to connect Jacana to the new airport in the 1960s. But they didn’t build the branch line. The Northern School for Autism is there now. The old school dates back to 1959, when it opened as Jacana Primary School. For decades, children learned and played there. Today, it’s a thriving center for children with special needs. The town’s history is a testament to its resilience and sense of community.
