There are not many places like Williamstown - certainly not in greater Melbourne. The streets of Williamstown were amongst the first laid down by Europeans in Victoria in 1837. Up until then the narrow peninsula of Williamstown had been known to the local people as Koort-Boork-Boork, or "patch of she-oak trees."
