Kingsbury

(3083, 13 km NE, Darebin City)

This small residential locality in Preston between Reservoir and Bundoora was named after Private Bruce Kingsbury, killed in action in New Guinea in 1942. Kingsbury Primary School opened in 1961 during the suburb's residential boom; population had decreased and aged by the end of the 20th century. The suburb features parklands along its Darebin Creek frontage.
