Camden Town was once a working class area at the junction of Glen Huntley and Hawthorn Roads. Here speculator Josiah Morris Holloway purchased land and subdivided a village, which became the district’s main service center. Over time, large parcels of land were snatched up by pastoralists, and a community developed to what has now become known as the suburb of Caulfield. Now, The Camden Hotel continues the local legacy which has remained a cornerstone for the neighborhood since 1873
