| Summary |
The history of Bassendean is intimately tied up with the history of white settlement in Western Australia. The suburb began life as part of the Guildford township in 1829 but remained a sparsely populated village settlement surrounded by country estates of the gentry until the late 19th century. It took on its own local government identity in 1901 and became (& remains) a strong community within the wider Perth Metropolitan Region. |
