History

Hampton Road was originally called Prison Road. It derives its name from John Stephen Hampton (1810-1869), the Governor of WA from 1862-68. He was previously Comptroller of Convicts in Tasmania. His son, G. E. Hampton, was Acting Comptroller-General of the Fremantle Convict Establishment.
Lot 744 was undeveloped in 1886 and as owned by Charles Hall, a warder. In 1889 a four room cottage was erected for Charles Hall on the site. In 1890 James Stokes was the owner of the other half of lot 744. In 1895 there were two cottages with four rooms each and three cottages with two rooms each. Lot 744 was divided between Hampton Rd and Bellevue Tce at the rear. The Hampton Rd lots appear to hold the two original houses from 1889/90. In 1909/10 William Stokes owned number 38 which is now number 54. Frederick Thomas Knox owned number 40 which is now number 56.
