Hoppers Crossing is named after the Hopper family who lived there from the 19th century. The ‘crossing’ refers to the railway crossing of the Melbourne to Geelong line over the Princes Highway. This crossing and a grocery store were all that Hoppers Crossing had to offer visitors right up until the 1960s when residential homes began being built.
Nowadays, shopping is available in abundance at Werribee Plaza, with stores such as Myer, Safeway, Big W and Coles. Hoppers Crossing also has numerous cafes, restaurants and new retail units being built.
Sporting facilities in the area include Mossfiel Reserve and Grange Reserve. The Wyndham Leisure and Events Centre has two swimming pools, as well as a gym and community function room for social events. For a fun day out, you can jump in your rental car and drive to Werribee Zoo which is less than ten minutes down the road.
Despite its healthy population of nearly 40,000 people, Hoppers Crossing is still very much overshadowed by neighbouring suburbs and towns. Tarneit, to the north, has recently been connected to Melbourne on a much faster railway line. Werribee is also well-known for Werribee Open Range Zoo, Werribee Park Mansion, and Werribee Park National Equestrian Centre. These places are mere minutes away in your rental car from Hoppers Crossing and definitely worth a visit.
