Originally known as Woodlupine, the suburb then became known as Queens Park, after Queen Alexandra.
This suburb put emphasis on marketing gardens and nurseries, it "promised to become one of the horticultural adjuncts to (Perth City)
and to afford the man tired of business care and worry, the opportunity to recuperate amidst pleasant surroundings."
Over recent times, Queens Park has seen a quiet revival and with the advent of the revitalisation of the Maniana Precinct, the area
shows promise of regaining its position as a local showcase.
