The City of Camberwell was a local government covering eastern middle-ring suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, including Camberwell, Ashburton and Balwyn.
History
The City began as a result of the renaming and reorganisation of the Borough of Boroondara into the Town of Camberwell in 1905. Later that year, it was proclaimed a city.
