History
The origin of the name of Caulfield is not known for certain, but the name seemed to be linked with Baron Caulfeild of Ireland, perhaps through John Caulfield, a pioneer of the colony.
The name Caulfield was in use by 1853, and the early maps always place it somewhere around the racecourse. It was not in general use for the whole area until the proclamation of the Caulfield Road District in 1857. Caulfield Post Office opened on 1 January 1863 and closed in 1974. Caulfield Junction Post Office opened in 1923 and remains open.[3]
Today
It is home to Caulfield Racecourse and the Caulfield campus of Monash University.
Caulfield Park is a large Victorian garden flanked by Hawthorn, Balaclava and Inkerman Roads, which features a war memorial, decorative lake and playing fields for various sports.
The neighborhood has a large Jewish population[1].
Public Transport
Caulfield is one of Melbourne's suburbs most serviced by public transport.
