History

Milnerton has evolved from a quiet coastal settlement into a thriving residential and commercial hub. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the area was a modest outpost for small businesses, with retail and hospitality ventures serving residents and visitors drawn to its beaches and proximity to the city. The establishment of the Milnerton Golf Club in 1913 marked a milestone, boosting the area’s appeal as a leisure destination. The mid-20th century saw steady growth in retail and services, with the development of shopping centers like Centre Point Mall. The 1990s and 2000s brought significant residential expansion, as developers built modern estates and apartments to meet demand from families and professionals. Today, Milnerton thrives as a key part of the Western Seaboard, with a dynamic mix of lifestyle businesses, tech startups, and real estate opportunities driving its growth.
