History

Aberdeen Street was named after the Earl of Aberdeen, who was Foreign Secretary in the Duke of Wellington's Cabinet when Western Australia was founded. A separate Aberdeen Road in East Perth was shown on the first street map of Perth issued in 1838,[4] but a later survey by John Septimus Roe of this part of the Swan River Colony had removed that thoroughfare by 1845,[4] and the name was transferred to the present Aberdeen Street.[5]
