History

The City of Vincent is named after Vincent Street, an arterial road through the centre of the City that is also the location of the City's Council Chambers and administrative offices. The road is believed to have been named after George Vincent, the Chief Draftsman in the Lands Department and original grantee of land on the north side, east from Charles Street. He named it after himself on issue of the first Crown Grant of Perth, circa 1876.
