History of Aubin Grove
Aubin Grove used to be part of a larger rural area called Banjup. The suburb is named after Henry John Aubin. He leased land in this area back in 1897.
It is believed that Aubin's leased land, Lot 212, looked very similar to the Aubin Grove we know today. His land was next to Lyon Road and Gibbs Road. It also shared a border with land owned by James Hammond. That land later became Hammond Park.
