'''Fitzroy''' is an inner suburb of [[Melbourne]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], Australia, 3 km north-east of the city's [[Melbourne City Centre|Central Business District]] (CBD) and located in the [[Local government areas of Victoria|local government area]] of the [[City of Yarra]]. As of 2016, Fitzroy had a population of 10,445. Planned as Melbourne's first suburb in 1839,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/ncas/multimedia/gazetteer/list/fitzroy.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040702011619/http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/ncas/multimedia/gazetteer/list/fitzroy.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2 July 2004|title=Fitzroy, Victoria|date=2 July 2004|access-date=26 August 2018}}</ref> it later became one of the city's first areas to gain municipal status, in 1858.<ref name="emelb">{{cite web|title=Municipal Government|url=http://www.emelbourne.net.au/biogs/EM01028b.htm|website=eMelbourne – The Encyclopedia of Melbourne Online|publisher=School of Historical Studies, Department of History, The University of Melbourne|access-date=30 April 2018}}</ref> It occupies Melbourne's smallest and most densely populated area outside the CBD, just 100 [[Hectare|ha]].
Fitzroy is known as a cultural hub, particularly for its live music scene and street art, and is the main home of the [[Melbourne Fringe Festival]]. Its commercial heart is [[Brunswick Street, Melbourne|Brunswick Street]], one of Melbourne's major retail, culinary, and nightlife strips. Long associated with the working class, Fitzroy has undergone waves of [[urban renewal]] and [[gentrification]] since the 1980s and today is home to a wide variety of socio-economic groups, featuring both some of the most expensive rents in Melbourne and one of its largest [[Public housing in Australia|public housing]] complexes, Atherton Gardens.
Its built environment is diverse and features some of the finest examples of [[Victorian era]] architecture in Melbourne. Much of the suburb is a [[historic preservation]] precinct, with many individual buildings and streetscapes covered by [[Heritage Overlay]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/planningschemes/yarra/map.html|title=DELWP|last=DELWP|date=22 May 2017|website=DELWP|access-date=26 August 2018}}</ref> The most recent changes to Fitzroy are mandated by the [[Melbourne 2030]] Metropolitan Strategy, in which both Brunswick Street and nearby Smith Street are designated for redevelopment as [[Activity centre]]s.
It was named after Sir [[Charles Augustus FitzRoy]], the Governor of [[New South Wales]] from 1846 to 1855.<ref name="atoz">{{cite news|last1=First|first1=Jamie|title=The A–Z story of our suburbs|url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/the-az-story-of-melbournes-suburbs/news-story/6f7611b7df20e55ad02f5e9615885e21|access-date=27 October 2017|work=Herald Sun|date=7 January 2014}}</ref> It is bordered by Alexandra Parade (north), [[Victoria Street, Melbourne|Victoria Parade]] (south), [[Smith Street, Melbourne|Smith Street]] (east) and [[Nicholson Street, Melbourne|Nicholson Street]].

==History==
[[File:Brunswick street fitzroy looking south in 1906.jpg|thumb|left|Looking south down Brunswick Street in 1906]]
Fitzroy was Melbourne's first suburb, created in 1839 when the area between Melbourne and Alexandra Parade (originally named Newtown)<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article10740750 |title=VICTORIAN HISTORY. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)|The Argus]] |location=Melbourne |date=15 October 1909 |access-date=26 September 2013 |page=9 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> was subdivided into vacant lots and offered for sale.
Newtown was later renamed [[Collingwood, Victoria|Collingwood]],<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.emelbourne.net.au/biogs/EM00375b.htm | title = Collingwood | access-date = 25 September 2013 | last = Barnard | first = Jill | date = 25 February 2010 | work = e-Melbourne | publisher = School of Historical Studies Department of History, The University of Melbourne}}</ref> and the area now called Fitzroy (west of Smith Street) was made a ward of the [[City of Melbourne|Melbourne City Council]]. On 9 September 1858, Fitzroy became a municipality in its own right, separate from the City of Melbourne.<ref name="event58">{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article65667797 |title=FIRST HALF-YEARLY REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OF FITZROY, FROM 30TH SEPTEMBER, 1858, TO 31ST MARCH, 1859. |newspaper=Fitzroy City Press|location=Victoria |date=20 July 1900 |access-date=25 September 2013 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> In accordance with the Municipal Act, on 28 September 1858, a meeting of ratepayers was held in 'Mr Templeton's schoolroom, George street' to prepare for a local council election, with [[Thomas Embling|Dr Thomas Embling]], [[Victorian Legislative Assembly|MLA]] for Collingwood, presiding.<ref name="event58"/> The council election took place two days later and the first councilors were; Thomas Rae, George Symons, Edward Langton, Henry Groom, Benjamin Bell, Edwin Bennett and Thomas Hargreave.<ref name="event58"/><ref>{{cite web | url = http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/langton-edward-3990 | title = Langton, Edward (1828–1905) | access-date = 25 September 2013 | last = Cooksley | first = Jean | work = Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University}}</ref> The first council meeting, held after the declaration of election, was at the Exchange Hotel, George Street, and Symons was unanimously elected chair.<ref name="event58"/>
Surrounded as it was by a large number of factories and industrial sites in the adjoining suburbs, Fitzroy was ideally suited to working men's housing, and from the 1860s to the 1880s, Fitzroy's working class population rose dramatically. The area's former mansions became boarding houses and slums, and the heightened poverty of the area prompted the establishment of several charitable, religious and philanthropic organisations in the area over the next few decades. A notable local entrepreneur was [[Macpherson Robertson]], whose confectionery factories engulfed several blocks and stand as heritage landmarks today.
[[File:VictoriaParade Fitzroy.jpg|right|thumb|[[Victoria Parade, Melbourne|Victoria Parade]], Fitzroy, 1935]] The [[Fitzroy Gasworks]] was erected on Reilly Street (now Alexander Parade) in 1861, dominating the suburb, with the Gasometer Hotel located opposite.<ref name=Circle>R Proudley. ''[[Circle of Influence: A History of the Gas Industry in Victoria]]'', Hargreen/Gas and Fuel Corporation of Victoria, Melbourne, 1987. p. 40-49.</ref>
The establishment of the [[Housing Commission of Victoria]] in 1938 saw swathes of new residences being constructed in Melbourne's outer suburbs. With many of Fitzroy's residents moving to the new accommodation, their places were taken by post-war immigrants, mostly from Italy and Greece and the influx of Italian and Irish immigrants saw a marked shift towards [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholicism]] from Fitzroy's traditional [[Methodism|Methodist]] and [[Presbyterianism|Presbyterian]] roots. The Housing Commission would build two public housing estates in Fitzroy in the 1960s; one in Hanover Street and one at the southern end of Brunswick Street.
Before World War I, Fitzroy was a working-class neighbourhood, with a concentration of political radicals already living there. Postwar immigration into the suburb resulted in the area becoming socially diverse. Many working-class Chinese immigrants settled in Fitzroy due to its proximity to [[Chinatown, Melbourne|Chinatown]]. There is also a noticeable Vietnamese community, a small enclave of Africans, and the area (particularly Johnston Street) also serves as a centre of Melbourne's Hispanic community, with many Spanish and Latin American-themed restaurants, clubs, bars and some stores.
The Fitzroy Magistrates' Court closed on 1 February 1985.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.audit.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/19860901-Special-Report-4-Court-Closures-in-Victoria.pdf | title=Special Report No. 4 – Court Closures in Victoria | publisher=Auditor-General of Victoria | date=1986 |pages=79 | access-date=12 April 2020}}</ref>
Like other inner-city suburbs of Melbourne, Fitzroy underwent a process of [[gentrification]] during the 1980s and 1990s. The area's manufacturing and warehouse sites were converted into apartments, and the corresponding rising rents in Fitzroy saw many of the area's residents move to [[Northcote, Victoria|Northcote]] and [[Brunswick, Victoria|Brunswick]]. In June 1994, the City of Yarra was created by combining the Cities of Fitzroy, [[City of Collingwood|Collingwood]] and [[City of Richmond|Richmond]].
==Geography==
[[File:Fitzroy Memorial Rotunda.jpg|thumb|right|Fitzroy Memorial Rotunda, in honour of Fitzroy residents who died during World War I.]]
Fitzroy's topography is flat. It is laid out in [[grid plan]] and is characterised by a fairly tightly spaced rectangular grid of medium-sized streets, with many of its narrow streets and back lanes facilitating only [[one-way traffic]]. Its built form is a legacy of its early history when a mixture of land uses was allowed to develop close to each other, producing a great diversity of types and scales of building.<ref>"Fitzroy : Melbourne's first suburb / Cutten History Committee of the Fitzroy History Society.

The median age (33) was younger than the national average (38), while the median weekly individual income (AU$925 per week) was higher than the national average (AU$662). Only 24.9% of Fitzroy's population are married, compared to 48.1% nationwide.
53.3% of people were born in Australia. The most common countries of birth were England 3.9%, Vietnam 3.3%, New Zealand 2.9%, China 2.7% and United States of America 1.2%. 61.0% of people only spoke English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Vietnamese 4.1%, Mandarin 2.5%, Cantonese 2.1%, Arabic 2.0% and Greek 1.6%.
The most common response for religion was No Religion at 48.2%.<ref name=Census2016/>
===Housing===
[[File:Terrace housing on nicholson street fitzroy.jpg|thumb|Terrace housing along Nicholson Street]]
Fitzroy's housing is diverse. It has some of Melbourne's earliest surviving houses and one of Melbourne's most extensive stands of [[terrace house|terraced housing]], along with a mix of converted industrial and commercial buildings, walk-up flats, modern apartments and public housing.
Among the earliest homes are Royal Terrace (1853–1858) on Nicholson Street. Overlooking the [[Carlton Gardens, Melbourne|Carlton Gardens]], Royal Terrace was one of the first of its kind in Melbourne. Fitzroy's "character housing" (pre-war) is now mostly gentrified and highly sought after real estate.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}
As early as 1923, the [[City of Fitzroy]] was accused of 'creating slums' by allowing inappropriate development such as three houses on a 31-foot by 100-foot block.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2008139 |title=CREATING SLUMS. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)|The Argus]] |location=Melbourne |date=23 May 1923 |access-date=26 September 2013 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> By 1953, the state Housing Minister Thomas Hayes, said that ''Camp Pell'' in Royal Park, [[Parkville, Victoria]], which had been a temporary military camp for United States forces during the Second World War, 'might become a permanent emergency housing settlement' and 'Fitzroy slum dwellers who had refused offers of alternative accommodation by the housing Commission because they would have to pay higher rents would probably' be moved there.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article23221542 |title=Camp may be "for keeps". |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)|The Argus]] |location=Melbourne |date=10 January 1953 |access-date=26 September 2013 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> Two years later the headline was 'Outcry Rages Over Fitzroy Slums', as the state government accused the Commonwealth of bringing in immigrants that the states had nowhere to house, arguing that the 'Awful, dilapidated buildings in Fitzroy, crowded beyond description with exploited New Australians were a grave danger to the heath of the community.'<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article71700780 |title=OUTCRY RAGES OVER THE FITZROY SLUMS. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)|The Argus]] |location=Melbourne |date=12 October 1955 |access-date=26 September 2013 |page=1 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> The Atherton Gardens high-rise public housing estate, on the corner of Brunswick and [[Gertrude Street, Melbourne|Gertrude Street]]s, is one of Melbourne's largest, built by the [[Housing Commission of Victoria]] as part of its controversial "[[slum clearance]]" [[urban renewal]] program in the 1960s.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} The commission was established by the ''Housing Act 1937'' in response to [[slum]] housing in [[Melbourne]], and operated under the ''Slum Reclamation and Housing Act 1938''.<ref>{{cite web

Due to its desirability as a place to live, Fitzroy faces increasing pressure for residential development. Recent residential projects in Fitzroy have sought to express a sense of Fitzroy's [[Neighbourhood character|urban character]] in various ways and have been hotly contested in some cases.<ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/03/09/1047144868351.html theage.com.au]: "There goes the neighbourhood?"</ref><ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/05/31/1022569832148.html theage.com.au]: "Fitzroy gets set for new development battle"</ref><ref>[http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/31051/20021007/users.bigpond.net.au/buzzadam/index.html pandora.nla.gov.au]: "'Urban Joke' campaign against 'Urban Jazz' "</ref>
==Governance==
[[File:Fitzroy Town Hall 01a.jpg|thumb|upright|Former Fitzroy Town Hall, now functions as secondary offices for the City of Yarra]]
Fitzroy's traditional representation at all levels of government reflects the area's working class and bohemianism, [[Left-wing politics]] dominates.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} The [[Australian Labor Party]] and more recently the [[Australian Greens]] both have a very strong political presence.
At a local level, Fitzroy is part of the City of Yarra Local Government Area. The Fitzroy area falls within the wards of Langridge and Nicholls, both of these wards are currently represented by the Australian Greens.
At a state level, Fitzroy is within the [[Electoral district of Richmond (Victoria)|Electoral district of Richmond]], traditionally a safe Australian Labor Party seat.
At federal level, it is within the [[Division of Melbourne]], which was taken from Labor by the Australian Greens in 2010.

{{Further|Fitzroy Town Hall}}
The area formerly had its own municipal status from 1858, with the City of Fitzroy meeting at Fitzroy Town Hall on Napier Street. The Town Hall is on the [[Victorian Heritage Register]] for its state historical and architectural significance.<ref name=hc>{{cite web |url=http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/vhd/heritagevic#detail_places;471|title=Fitzroy Town Hall|work= Victorian Heritage Database |access-date=14 October 2008 |publisher=Heritage Council of Victoria}}</ref> The building was constructed in stages (1863, 1887 and 1890) to comprise municipal [[offices]], [[meeting hall]], [[police station]], [[courthouse]] and [[clock tower]].
Since the amalgamation of the City of Fitzroy with the City of Collingwood and the City of Richmond in 1994 to form the City of Yarra, the Town Hall has functioned as secondary offices for the City of Yarra, and other occupants including the Fitzroy Legal Service, currently at Level 4, Moor Street entrance.
==Culture==
===Art===
[[File:Fitzroy street art.jpg|thumb|Various kinds of street art adorn many buildings throughout Fitzroy]]
There are many small [[art gallery|commercial art galleries]], [[artist-run space]]s and artist [[studio]]s located within the suburb. Fitzroy has a thriving [[street art]] community and is also the home of [[Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces]] and the [[Centre for Contemporary Photography]].
===Live performance===
Fitzroy was the primary home of the [[little band scene]], an experimental [[post-punk]] scene which thrived from 1978 to 1981. Initially led by local groups the [[Primitive Calculators]] and [[Whirlywirld]], it helped foster the careers of a number of notable musicians, including members of [[Dead Can Dance]] and [[Hunters & Collectors]].<ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/rn/hindsight/stories/2010/2946102.htm Do That Dance! Australian Post Punk 1977–1983], abc.net.au. Retrieved 30 October 2010.</ref>
Today Fitzroy is a hub for live music in Melbourne, and plays host to several prominent venues; [[The Old Bar – Fitzroy|The Old Bar]], Bar Open, the Evelyn Hotel, Gertrudes Brown Couch, and Cape Live. The well-known Punters Club was also located in the area; however, it was forced to close in 2002.
===Heritage===

===Pubs===

Fitzroy has a large number of [[pub]]s for such a small suburb. The former [[Devonshire Arms, Fitzroy|Devonshire Arms]] hotel was located in Fitzroy Street and remains the oldest building in Fitzroy. There are many other pubs in Fitzroy.
===Cafés===
The tiny suburb of Fitzroy has many [[Coffeehouse|cafés]]. Only one of the original three cafés is still standing – Marios.

With the advance of gentrification, a variety of cafés in different styles have opened up and down Brunswick Street, on Smith Street, parts of Gertrude Street and in some of the back streets, in former [[milk bar]]s and warehouse sites.<ref>{{citation|url= http://www.howitravel.co/the-15-coolest-neighborhoods-in-the-world-in-2016/ |title=The 15 Coolest Neighborhoods in the World in 2016 |access-date=17 November 2016}}</ref>
==Sport==
[[File:Fitzroy Cricket Ground Grandstand.jpg|thumb|Heritage-listed grandstand at [[Brunswick Street Oval]], used primarily for [[cricket]] and [[Australian rules football]]]]
Formed in 1883, the [[Fitzroy Football Club]], an [[Australian rules football]] club, went on to play in the [[Victorian Football League (1897–1989)|Victorian Football League]] (now known as the Australian Football League).
The club had some early success before relocating its home games several times and finally running into financial difficulties in the 1980s, forcing it to merge its AFL operations with the [[Brisbane Bears]] at the end of 1996, to form the [[Brisbane Lions]].
They adopted a logo, song, and guernsey based on those of Fitzroy, would take eight Fitzroy players in the 1996 draft, three Fitzroy representatives would serve on the board, and the Lions would keep an office in Melbourne.
The Lions would go onto win three premierships in a row in 2001, 2002, and 2003, and be considered one of the greatest teams of the modern era.
The club keeps strong ties within the Fitzroy community, keeping a social club at the Royal Derby Hotel for Victorian Lions fans, and maintaining links with the Fitzroy VAFA team by sponsoring a men’s and women’s player each season.
The strong support of Fitzroy club legends such as Kevin Murray, Garry Wilson, Mick Conlan, Paul Roos, and many more, have only added to the Brisbane Lions being considered a direct continuation of Fitzroy in the AFL.
Fitzroy's non-AFL operations came out of administration after the Brisbane merger in 1998, and the clubs shareholders voted for it to continue with the goal of resuming its playing operations. After sponsoring various local clubs, Fitzroy merged with the University Reds and finally returned the playing field after a 13-year absence, participating in the 2009 [[Victorian Amateur Football Association]] season with its home games played out of [[Edinburgh Gardens, Melbourne|Brunswick Street Oval]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,24771588-19742,00.html | work=Herald Sun | first=Damian | last=Barrett| title=The old Lion roars again as Fitzroy is reborn | date=9 December 2008}}</ref> Since that time, Fitzroy have doubled their membership and achieved promotion twice within the VAFA. The club currently plays in the premier B division.
The Fitzroy Stars Football Club are an Indigenous club that joined the [[Northern Football League (Australia)|Northern Football League]] in 2008. They currently play their home games at Crispe Park in [[Reservoir, Victoria|Reservoir]] with the club's off-field administration still based in Fitzroy.
Fitzroy United Alexander Football Club, now [[Heidelberg United FC|Heidelberg United]], was Fitzroy's first ever sporting club to play at a national level. Founded by Melbourne's inner eastern [[Greek community of Melbourne|Greek community]], the club was relocated to the [[Brunswick Street Oval]] in early 1971 but later departed by late 1978. Whilst the club was based in Fitzroy, the club was initially participating in the [[National Premier Leagues Victoria|Victorian State League]] where it was crowned state champions in the 1975 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/Clubs/H/HeidelbergUnitedDH.html|title=Heidelberg United – Divisional History|website=Ozfootball.net|access-date=26 August 2018}}</ref> With the club's on and off-field strength, Fitzroy was invited to be an inaugural participant of the [[National Soccer League]], the former highest level of [[soccer]] in Australia, where the club became the suburb's first national sporting team. Although administration and club training was based at Fitzroy, the club used various venues in [[Melbourne]] for its home matches. The suburb's first domestic first tier sporting match of any code was played at the Brunswick Street Oval on 2 May 1977, with Fitzroy United defeating [[Queensland Lions FC|Brisbane Lions]] 4–1 in front of over 4000 attendees.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/1977/Round05.html|title=1977 National Soccer League results|website=Ozfootball.net|access-date=26 August 2018}}</ref> The club participated in the [[1977 National Soccer League|1977]] and [[1978 National Soccer League|1978]] seasons as 'Fitzroy' finishing third and fifth respectively.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://neososmos.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/soccer-at-fitzroy-cricket-ground.html|title=Neos Osmos: Soccer at the Fitzroy Cricket Ground|first=Ian|last=Syson|date=5 July 2013|website=Neososmos.blogspot.com.au|access-date=26 August 2018}}</ref> In late 1978, the club and its administration was relocated to [[Olympic Park (Village)|Olympic Village Stadium]] in [[Heidelberg West, Victoria|Heidelberg West]] prior to the [[1979 National Soccer League|1979]], with name being changed to Heidelberg United FC as a result of a better stadium deal and there being a larger Greek community in Heidelberg West than Fitzroy.

==In popular culture==
[[File:Fitzroy Pool.jpg|thumb|upright|The heritage-listed "Aqua Profonda" sign made famous in [[Helen Garner]]'s 1977 novel ''[[Monkey Grip (novel)|Monkey Grip]]''.]]
The 1977 cult classic novel ''[[Monkey Grip (novel)|Monkey Grip]]'' by [[Helen Garner]] took place mostly in Fitzroy and Carlton. Many of the central characters frequent the Fitzroy local swimming pool in the summer, referred to as the "Fitzroy baths", and the heritage-listed "Aqua Profonda" sign at the deep end of the pool is the title of the novel's first chapter, used as a metaphor for the central character's deeply troubled romantic relationship with a man. The inclusion of the sign and the pool itself gave it some degree of iconic status–its use in the novel was even mentioned in the statement of significance for the sign's heritage listing in 2004.<ref>{{cite web|title="Aqua Profonda" sign, Fitzroy Pool|work=Victorian Heritage Database|access-date=11 December 2017|url=http://vhd.heritagecouncil.vic.gov.au/places/4742}}</ref>

==Transport==
[[File:Fitzroy Melbourne.jpg|thumb|Brunswick Street]]
[[File:A1 245 at St Vincents Plaza on route 112 (tram).jpg|thumb|St Vincents Plaza tram interchange]]
Fitzroy's major road arterials are Brunswick Street (north-south) and Johnston Street (east-west). Other main roads include Victoria Parade, Nicholson Street, Smith Street and Alexandra Parade, which circumnavigate the suburb. It is characterised by a fairly tightly spaced rectangular grid of medium-sized streets, with many of its narrow streets and back lanes facilitating only one-way traffic. Traffic and parking congestion is a problem<ref>Millar, Royce [http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/03/09/1047144868351.html "There goes the neighbourhood?"] The Age 10 March 2003</ref> and Fitzroy and local councils have implemented strategies to keep this traffic off residential side streets. It has been the site of several controversial inner city freeway proposals, particularly in the 1950s, however none of which have proceeded.
There are no railway stations located in Fitzroy itself, with the nearest train stations being {{stnlnk|Rushall}} in Fitzroy North, and {{stnlnk|Collingwood}} and {{stnlnk|Parliament}} Stations. An underground railway line running between the [[City Loop, Melbourne|City Loop]] and [[Clifton Hill railway station, Melbourne|Clifton Hill]], with stations located beneath Brunswick Street and Smith Street, has been proposed.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}
Three tram lines pass through Fitzroy or its boundaries:
* [[Melbourne tram route 86|Route 86]] ([[Bundoora, Victoria|Bundoora]] – [[Docklands, Victoria|Docklands]]): travels along Nicholson Street, Gertrude Street and Smith Street.
* [[Melbourne tram route 96|Route 96]] ([[Brunswick East, Victoria|East Brunswick]] – [[St Kilda, Victoria|St Kilda]]): travels along Nicholson Street.
* [[Melbourne tram route 11|Route 11]] ([[Preston, Victoria|West Preston]] – [[Docklands, Victoria#Victoria Harbour|Victoria Harbour Docklands]]): bisects Fitzroy along Brunswick Street.
The St Vincents Plaza tram interchange, in adjacent [[East Melbourne, Victoria|East Melbourne]], is at the junction of Victoria Parade and Brunswick Street and handles tram routes [[Melbourne tram route 24|24]], [[Melbourne tram route 30|30]], 86, [[Melbourne tram route 109|109]] and 11.
[[File:Critical Mass Melbourne - Brunswick St.JPG|thumb|right|[[Critical Mass (cycling)|Critical Mass]] Melbourne at Brunswick Street]]
Cycling is a very popular form of transport in Fitzroy,{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} as with much of the City of Yarra. A station for the Melbourne Bicycle Share scheme is located near the St Vincents Plaza tram interchange.
The City of Yarra also supports a [[car sharing]] service, which has several locations in Fitzroy.

'''Fitzroy''' is an inner suburb of [[Melbourne]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], Australia, 3 km north-east of the city's [[Melbourne City Centre|Central Business District]] (CBD) and located in the [[Local government areas of Victoria|local government area]] of the [[City of Yarra]]. As of 2016, Fitzroy had a population of 10,445.

Fitzroy is known as a cultural hub, particularly for its live music scene and street art, and is the main home of the [[Melbourne Fringe Festival]]. Its commercial heart is [[Brunswick Street, Melbourne|Brunswick Street]], one of Melbourne's major retail, culinary, and nightlife strips. Long associated with the working class, Fitzroy has undergone waves of [[urban renewal]] and [[gentrification]] since the 1980s and today is home to a wide variety of socio-economic groups, featuring both some of the most expensive rents in Melbourne and one of its largest [[Public housing in Australia|public housing]] complexes, Atherton Gardens.
Its built environment is diverse and features some of the finest examples of [[Victorian era]] architecture in Melbourne. Much of the suburb is a [[historic preservation]] precinct, with many individual buildings and streetscapes covered by [[Heritage Overlay]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/planningschemes/yarra/map.html|title=DELWP|last=DELWP|date=22 May 2017|website=DELWP|access-date=26 August 2018}}</ref> The most recent changes to Fitzroy are mandated by the [[Melbourne 2030]] Metropolitan Strategy, in which both Brunswick Street and nearby Smith Street are designated for redevelopment as [[Activity centre]]s.

==History==
[[File:Brunswick street fitzroy looking south in 1906.jpg|thumb|left|Looking south down Brunswick Street in 1906]]
Fitzroy was Melbourne's first suburb, created in 1839 when the area between Melbourne and Alexandra Parade (originally named Newtown)<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article10740750 |title=VICTORIAN HISTORY. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)|The Argus]] |location=Melbourne |date=15 October 1909 |access-date=26 September 2013 |page=9 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> was subdivided into vacant lots and offered for sale.
Newtown was later renamed [[Collingwood, Victoria|Collingwood]],<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.emelbourne.net.au/biogs/EM00375b.htm | title = Collingwood | access-date = 25 September 2013 | last = Barnard | first = Jill | date = 25 February 2010 | work = e-Melbourne | publisher = School of Historical Studies Department of History, The University of Melbourne}}</ref> and the area now called Fitzroy (west of Smith Street) was made a ward of the [[City of Melbourne|Melbourne City Council]]. On 9 September 1858, Fitzroy became a municipality in its own right, separate from the City of Melbourne.<ref name="event58">{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article65667797 |title=FIRST HALF-YEARLY REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OF FITZROY, FROM 30TH SEPTEMBER, 1858, TO 31ST MARCH, 1859. |newspaper=Fitzroy City Press|location=Victoria |date=20 July 1900 |access-date=25 September 2013 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> In accordance with the Municipal Act, on 28 September 1858, a meeting of ratepayers was held in 'Mr Templeton's schoolroom, George street' to prepare for a local council election, with [[Thomas Embling|Dr Thomas Embling]], [[Victorian Legislative Assembly|MLA]] for Collingwood, presiding.<ref name="event58"/> The council election took place two days later and the first councilors were; Thomas Rae, George Symons, Edward Langton, Henry Groom, Benjamin Bell, Edwin Bennett and Thomas Hargreave.<ref name="event58"/><ref>{{cite web | url = http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/langton-edward-3990 | title = Langton, Edward (1828–1905) | access-date = 25 September 2013 | last = Cooksley | first = Jean | work = Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University}}</ref> The first council meeting, held after the declaration of election, was at the Exchange Hotel, George Street, and Symons was unanimously elected chair.<ref name="event58"/>
Surrounded as it was by a large number of factories and industrial sites in the adjoining suburbs, Fitzroy was ideally suited to working men's housing, and from the 1860s to the 1880s, Fitzroy's working class population rose dramatically. The area's former mansions became boarding houses and slums, and the heightened poverty of the area prompted the establishment of several charitable, religious and philanthropic organisations in the area over the next few decades. A notable local entrepreneur was [[Macpherson Robertson]], whose confectionery factories engulfed several blocks and stand as heritage landmarks today.
[[File:VictoriaParade Fitzroy.jpg|right|thumb|[[Victoria Parade, Melbourne|Victoria Parade]], Fitzroy, 1935]] The [[Fitzroy Gasworks]] was erected on Reilly Street (now Alexander Parade) in 1861, dominating the suburb, with the Gasometer Hotel located opposite.<ref name=Circle>R Proudley. ''[[Circle of Influence: A History of the Gas Industry in Victoria]]'', Hargreen/Gas and Fuel Corporation of Victoria, Melbourne, 1987. p. 40-49.</ref>
The establishment of the [[Housing Commission of Victoria]] in 1938 saw swathes of new residences being constructed in Melbourne's outer suburbs. With many of Fitzroy's residents moving to the new accommodation, their places were taken by post-war immigrants, mostly from Italy and Greece and the influx of Italian and Irish immigrants saw a marked shift towards [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholicism]] from Fitzroy's traditional [[Methodism|Methodist]] and [[Presbyterianism|Presbyterian]] roots. The Housing Commission would build two public housing estates in Fitzroy in the 1960s; one in Hanover Street and one at the southern end of Brunswick Street.
Before World War I, Fitzroy was a working-class neighbourhood, with a concentration of political radicals already living there. Postwar immigration into the suburb resulted in the area becoming socially diverse. Many working-class Chinese immigrants settled in Fitzroy due to its proximity to [[Chinatown, Melbourne|Chinatown]]. There is also a noticeable Vietnamese community, a small enclave of Africans, and the area (particularly Johnston Street) also serves as a centre of Melbourne's Hispanic community, with many Spanish and Latin American-themed restaurants, clubs, bars and some stores.
The Fitzroy Magistrates' Court closed on 1 February 1985.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.audit.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/19860901-Special-Report-4-Court-Closures-in-Victoria.pdf | title=Special Report No. 4 – Court Closures in Victoria | publisher=Auditor-General of Victoria | date=1986 |pages=79 | access-date=12 April 2020}}</ref>
Like other inner-city suburbs of Melbourne, Fitzroy underwent a process of [[gentrification]] during the 1980s and 1990s. The area's manufacturing and warehouse sites were converted into apartments, and the corresponding rising rents in Fitzroy saw many of the area's residents move to [[Northcote, Victoria|Northcote]] and [[Brunswick, Victoria|Brunswick]]. In June 1994, the City of Yarra was created by combining the Cities of Fitzroy, [[City of Collingwood|Collingwood]] and [[City of Richmond|Richmond]].
==Geography==
[[File:Fitzroy Memorial Rotunda.jpg|thumb|right|Fitzroy Memorial Rotunda, in honour of Fitzroy residents who died during World War I.]]
Fitzroy's topography is flat. It is laid out in [[grid plan]] and is characterised by a fairly tightly spaced rectangular grid of medium-sized streets, with many of its narrow streets and back lanes facilitating only [[one-way traffic]]. Its built form is a legacy of its early history when a mixture of land uses was allowed to develop close to each other, producing a great diversity of types and scales of building.<ref>"Fitzroy : Melbourne's first suburb / Cutten History Committee of the Fitzroy History Society. Published South Yarra, Vic. : Hyland House, 198 {{ISBN|0-947062-52-1}}"</ref>

In the 2016 Australian Census conducted by the [[Australian Bureau of Statistics]], Fitzroy had a population of 10,445. The median age (33) was younger than the national average (38), while the median weekly individual income (AU$925 per week) was higher than the national average (AU$662). Only 24.9% of Fitzroy's population are married, compared to 48.1% nationwide.
53.3% of people were born in Australia. The most common countries of birth were England 3.9%, Vietnam 3.3%, New Zealand 2.9%, China 2.7% and United States of America 1.2%. 61.0% of people only spoke English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Vietnamese 4.1%, Mandarin 2.5%, Cantonese 2.1%, Arabic 2.0% and Greek 1.6%.
The most common response for religion was No Religion at 48.2%.<ref name=Census2016/>
===Housing===
[[File:Terrace housing on nicholson street fitzroy.jpg|thumb|Terrace housing along Nicholson Street]]
Fitzroy's housing is diverse. It has some of Melbourne's earliest surviving houses and one of Melbourne's most extensive stands of [[terrace house|terraced housing]], along with a mix of converted industrial and commercial buildings, walk-up flats, modern apartments and public housing.
Among the earliest homes are Royal Terrace (1853–1858) on Nicholson Street.

[[File:Fitzroy Cricket Ground Grandstand.jpg|thumb|Heritage-listed grandstand at [[Brunswick Street Oval]], used primarily for [[cricket]] and [[Australian rules football]]]]
Formed in 1883, the [[Fitzroy Football Club]], an [[Australian rules football]] club, went on to play in the [[Victorian Football League (1897–1989)|Victorian Football League]] (now known as the Australian Football League).
The club had some early success before relocating its home games several times and finally running into financial difficulties in the 1980s, forcing it to merge its AFL operations with the [[Brisbane Bears]] at the end of 1996, to form the [[Brisbane Lions]].
They adopted a logo, song, and guernsey based on those of Fitzroy, would take eight Fitzroy players in the 1996 draft, three Fitzroy representatives would serve on the board, and the Lions would keep an office in Melbourne.
The Lions would go onto win three premierships in a row in 2001, 2002, and 2003, and be considered one of the greatest teams of the modern era.
The club keeps strong ties within the Fitzroy community, keeping a social club at the Royal Derby Hotel for Victorian Lions fans, and maintaining links with the Fitzroy VAFA team by sponsoring a men’s and women’s player each season.
The strong support of Fitzroy club legends such as Kevin Murray, Garry Wilson, Mick Conlan, Paul Roos, and many more, have only added to the Brisbane Lions being considered a direct continuation of Fitzroy in the AFL.
Fitzroy's non-AFL operations came out of administration after the Brisbane merger in 1998, and the clubs shareholders voted for it to continue with the goal of resuming its playing operations. After sponsoring various local clubs, Fitzroy merged with the University Reds and finally returned the playing field after a 13-year absence, participating in the 2009 [[Victorian Amateur Football Association]] season with its home games played out of [[Edinburgh Gardens, Melbourne|Brunswick Street Oval]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,24771588-19742,00.html | work=Herald Sun | first=Damian | last=Barrett| title=The old Lion roars again as Fitzroy is reborn | date=9 December 2008}}</ref> Since that time, Fitzroy have doubled their membership and achieved promotion twice within the VAFA.

The 1977 cult classic novel ''[[Monkey Grip (novel)|Monkey Grip]]'' by [[Helen Garner]] took place mostly in Fitzroy and Carlton. Many of the central characters frequent the Fitzroy local swimming pool in the summer, referred to as the "Fitzroy baths", and the heritage-listed "Aqua Profonda" sign at the deep end of the pool is the title of the novel's first chapter, used as a metaphor for the central character's deeply troubled romantic relationship with a man.

[[File:A1 245 at St Vincents Plaza on route 112 (tram).jpg|thumb|St Vincents Plaza tram interchange]]
Fitzroy's major road arterials are Brunswick Street (north-south) and Johnston Street (east-west). Other main roads include Victoria Parade, Nicholson Street, Smith Street and Alexandra Parade, which circumnavigate the suburb. It is characterised by a fairly tightly spaced rectangular grid of medium-sized streets, with many of its narrow streets and back lanes facilitating only one-way traffic. Traffic and parking congestion is a problem<ref>Millar, Royce [http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/03/09/1047144868351.html "There goes the neighbourhood?"] The Age 10 March 2003</ref> and Fitzroy and local councils have implemented strategies to keep this traffic off residential side streets. It has been the site of several controversial inner city freeway proposals, particularly in the 1950s, however none of which have proceeded.
There are no railway stations located in Fitzroy itself, with the nearest train stations being {{stnlnk|Rushall}} in Fitzroy North, and {{stnlnk|Collingwood}} and {{stnlnk|Parliament}} Stations. An underground railway line running between the [[City Loop, Melbourne|City Loop]] and [[Clifton Hill railway station, Melbourne|Clifton Hill]], with stations located beneath Brunswick Street and Smith Street, has been proposed.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}
Three tram lines pass through Fitzroy or its boundaries:
* [[Melbourne tram route 86|Route 86]] ([[Bundoora, Victoria|Bundoora]] – [[Docklands, Victoria|Docklands]]): travels along Nicholson Street, Gertrude Street and Smith Street.
* [[Melbourne tram route 96|Route 96]] ([[Brunswick East, Victoria|East Brunswick]] – [[St Kilda, Victoria|St Kilda]]): travels along Nicholson Street.
* [[Melbourne tram route 11|Route 11]] ([[Preston, Victoria|West Preston]] – [[Docklands, Victoria#Victoria Harbour|Victoria Harbour Docklands]]): bisects Fitzroy along Brunswick Street.
The St Vincents Plaza tram interchange, in adjacent [[East Melbourne, Victoria|East Melbourne]], is at the junction of Victoria Parade and Brunswick Street and handles tram routes [[Melbourne tram route 24|24]], [[Melbourne tram route 30|30]], 86, [[Melbourne tram route 109|109]] and 11.

<p>Fitzroy was Melbourne's first suburb, created in 1839 when the area between Melbourne and Alexandra Parade (originally named Newtown)<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a></sup> was subdivided into vacant lots and offered for sale.
</p><p>Newtown was later renamed <a href="/wiki/Collingwood,_Victoria" title="Collingwood, Victoria">Collingwood</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a></sup> and the area now called Fitzroy (west of Smith Street) was made a ward of the <a href="/wiki/City_of_Melbourne" title="City of Melbourne">Melbourne City Council</a>. On 9 September 1858, Fitzroy became a municipality in its own right, separate from the City of Melbourne.<sup id="cite_ref-event58_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-event58-9">[9]</a></sup> In accordance with the Municipal Act, on 28 September 1858, a meeting of ratepayers was held in 'Mr Templeton's schoolroom, George street' to prepare for a local council election, with <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Embling" title="Thomas Embling">Dr Thomas Embling</a>, <a href="/wiki/Victorian_Legislative_Assembly" title="Victorian Legislative Assembly">MLA</a> for Collingwood, presiding.<sup id="cite_ref-event58_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-event58-9">[9]</a></sup> The council election took place two days later and the first councilors were; Thomas Rae, George Symons, Edward Langton, Henry Groom, Benjamin Bell, Edwin Bennett and Thomas Hargreave.<sup id="cite_ref-event58_9-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-event58-9">[9]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a></sup> The first council meeting, held after the declaration of election, was at the Exchange Hotel, George Street, and Symons was unanimously elected chair.<sup id="cite_ref-event58_9-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-event58-9">[9]</a></sup>
</p><p>Surrounded as it was by a large number of factories and industrial sites in the adjoining suburbs, Fitzroy was ideally suited to working men's housing, and from the 1860s to the 1880s, Fitzroy's working class population rose dramatically. The area's former mansions became boarding houses and slums, and the heightened poverty of the area prompted the establishment of several charitable, religious and philanthropic organisations in the area over the next few decades.

</p><p>The establishment of the <a href="/wiki/Housing_Commission_of_Victoria" title="Housing Commission of Victoria">Housing Commission of Victoria</a> in 1938 saw swathes of new residences being constructed in Melbourne's outer suburbs. With many of Fitzroy's residents moving to the new accommodation, their places were taken by post-war immigrants, mostly from Italy and Greece and the influx of Italian and Irish immigrants saw a marked shift towards <a href="/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church" class="mw-redirect" title="Roman Catholic Church">Catholicism</a> from Fitzroy's traditional <a href="/wiki/Methodism" title="Methodism">Methodist</a> and <a href="/wiki/Presbyterianism" title="Presbyterianism">Presbyterian</a> roots. The Housing Commission would build two public housing estates in Fitzroy in the 1960s; one in Hanover Street and one at the southern end of Brunswick Street.
</p><p>Before World War I, Fitzroy was a working-class neighbourhood, with a concentration of political radicals already living there. Postwar immigration into the suburb resulted in the area becoming socially diverse. Many working-class Chinese immigrants settled in Fitzroy due to its proximity to <a href="/wiki/Chinatown,_Melbourne" title="Chinatown, Melbourne">Chinatown</a>. There is also a noticeable Vietnamese community, a small enclave of Africans, and the area (particularly Johnston Street) also serves as a centre of Melbourne's Hispanic community, with many Spanish and Latin American-themed restaurants, clubs, bars and some stores.
</p><p>The Fitzroy Magistrates' Court closed on 1 February 1985.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a></sup>
</p><p>Like other inner-city suburbs of Melbourne, Fitzroy underwent a process of <a href="/wiki/Gentrification" title="Gentrification">gentrification</a> during the 1980s and 1990s. The area's manufacturing and warehouse sites were converted into apartments, and the corresponding rising rents in Fitzroy saw many of the area's residents move to <a href="/wiki/Northcote,_Victoria" title="Northcote, Victoria">Northcote</a> and <a href="/wiki/Brunswick,_Victoria" title="Brunswick, Victoria">Brunswick</a>.

</p><p>The club had some early success before relocating its home games several times and finally running into financial difficulties in the 1980s, forcing it to merge its AFL operations with the <a href="/wiki/Brisbane_Bears" title="Brisbane Bears">Brisbane Bears</a> at the end of 1996, to form the <a href="/wiki/Brisbane_Lions" title="Brisbane Lions">Brisbane Lions</a>.
</p><p>They adopted a logo, song, and guernsey based on those of Fitzroy, would take eight Fitzroy players in the 1996 draft, three Fitzroy representatives would serve on the board, and the Lions would keep an office in Melbourne.
</p><p>The Lions would go onto win three premierships in a row in 2001, 2002, and 2003, and be considered one of the greatest teams of the modern era.
</p><p>The club keeps strong ties within the Fitzroy community, keeping a social club at the Royal Derby Hotel for Victorian Lions fans, and maintaining links with the Fitzroy VAFA team by sponsoring a men’s and women’s player each season.
</p><p>The strong support of Fitzroy club legends such as Kevin Murray, Garry Wilson, Mick Conlan, Paul Roos, and many more, have only added to the Brisbane Lions being considered a direct continuation of Fitzroy in the AFL.
</p><p>Fitzroy's non-AFL operations came out of administration after the Brisbane merger in 1998, and the clubs shareholders voted for it to continue with the goal of resuming its playing operations. After sponsoring various local clubs, Fitzroy merged with the University Reds and finally returned the playing field after a 13-year absence, participating in the 2009 <a href="/wiki/Victorian_Amateur_Football_Association" title="Victorian Amateur Football Association">Victorian Amateur Football Association</a> season with its home games played out of <a href="/wiki/Edinburgh_Gardens,_Melbourne" title="Edinburgh Gardens, Melbourne">Brunswick Street Oval</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-61" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a></sup> Since that time, Fitzroy have doubled their membership and achieved promotion twice within the VAFA.

Other main roads include Victoria Parade, Nicholson Street, Smith Street and Alexandra Parade, which circumnavigate the suburb.

Traffic and parking congestion is a problem<sup id="cite_ref-76" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a></sup> and Fitzroy and local councils have implemented strategies to keep this traffic off residential side streets.
