==History==


Glen Huntly is named after a ship, the ''Glen Huntly'', that arrived in [[Port Phillip]] in April 1840, after setting off from [[Greenock]], [[Scotland]] carrying 157 new immigrants, skilled manual labourers who were heading for the new colony settled in Melbourne. Fever, most likely [[Typhoid fever|typhoid]], struck the ship mid journey and 10 died before reaching Port Phillip Bay. The ''Glen Huntly'' was forced to land at Little Red Bluff (now [[Point Ormond]]) where Victoria's first quarantine station, consisting of tents, was set up to deal with the crisis. Three more men died at the camp. Supplies and provisions were brought down a dirt track that became [[Glen Huntly Road]].
