In the land of the Footscray market, on the doorstep of Flemington Racecourse,  Footscray is a Suburb located 5km west of Melbourne, Australia. Its local government is the City of Maribyrnong. The area around Footscray was originally home to the Woimurrung and Boonwurrung tribes of the Kulin nation for over 40,000 years. At that time it was at the confluence of the rivers now known as the Maribyrnong and the Yarra. Between 1881 and 1891 Footscray's population more than tripled from almost 6,000 to 19,000. Footscray developed into an industrial zone in the second half of the nineteenth century, with the manufacturing industry beginning to decline in the 1960s and 1970s.
