History

Aubin Grove was formerly part of the rural locality of Banjup. It is named after Henry John Aubin, who leased agricultural land in the area in 1897. [5] Aubin is said to have taken Lot 212, a lot which very closely resembles the current shape and size of Aubin Grove. His land borded Lyon Road and Gibbs Road (As it does today), and also a shared boundary with James Hammond's plot to the west. His plot was converted into modern-day Hammond Park. [6]
