History

The suburb of Morley was first named Morley Park. A man called Charles William Morley was the first to use the land for farming during the 1860s and 1870s. It wasn’t until the late 1950s that Morley became the home of the Morley Park Hotel and the Boans department store. They were two of the first commercial sites to appear in the town.

In the 1980s, the number of businesses grew and lots of houses were built. Sadly, the Boans shop burnt down in 1986. It was replaced with the Galleria shopping centre in 1994.
