Historically, the land was occupied by the Aboriginal Turrbal clan. In 1855 , pastoralist James Sutherland purchased a large portion of area including Ascot and its surrounds. In 1882 a railway line was built from Eagle Junction to Ascot for access to the racecourse that had already been established. Until 1969 the suburb was also served by electric Tram s which ran up from Hamilton along Racecourse Road, Lancaster road and terminated in Alexandria Road. The population in Ascot was 4,602 people in 2001 and the average house price for the 2002/2003 year was $575,500 (REIQ). |
