On the 9th November 1857, Michael Mahor, a Yeoman of Fremantle was granted Country Enrolment No. 1091, which was later known as Cockburn Sound Location 67. This consisted of 10 acres and was bounded by Fifth Avenue on the West, Lefroy Road to the south, York Street on the east and Cockburn Sound Location 62 on the north. The land was advertised in the "Morning Herald" on 25th August 1885. On 24 October 1892 ownership passed to a family of Fremantle butchers, John, David and William Chester, who had a slaughterhouse on part of the land. On 29 August 1901 the land was transferred to a Fremantle Land Agent named Reginald George Webb. Webb subdivided the land on the 8 November 1901 and further subdivisions occurred on 15 July 1903 to create Lots 50, 51, 53, 54, 58, 59, 66, 67, 119 and 72. When the land in this area was originally subdivided and put up for sale a competition was held to decide on a new name for the district and Hilton Park was chosen.
House, 17 Central Avenue: A cottage is recorded on this lot (50 of 62) in the 1916/17 Rate Book. This is given number 20 in 1934/35 and changed to number 17 in 1939/ 40. The Health Department file records a permit for a new bathroom, laundry, store and verandah in 1959; a WC in 1965; a verandah in 1968 and a shed /prefab in 1968.
