Other Victoria Streets
Victoria street was named during the reign of Queen Victoria, who at that time was also the ruler of Australia. Due to a mixture of her popularity and a certain patriotism about their state, many developers and local councillors named streets in their localities Victoria Street. Nearly all of Melbourne's oldest suburbs contain a Victoria Street, most of them dating from this era.
