HISTORY

A commercial venture with a short but interesting life was the establishment of the Mornington Butter Factory.
In 1897 the factory commenced operations in Derril Road, Moorooduc. During October, November and December of its first year the factory sold eight tons of butter. In 1908 after eleven years of production, the
butter factory was closed and the assets sold by the company.
