'''Dingley Village''' is a suburb in [[Melbourne]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], [[Australia]], 22 km south-east from Melbourne's [[Melbourne city centre|central business district]]. Its [[Local Government Areas of Victoria|local government area]] is the [[City of Kingston]]. At the [[Census in Australia#2011|2011 Census]], Dingley Village had a population of 10,186. Dingley is also the home to Professional Wrestler Adam Brooks

== History ==

In 1856, Thomas Attenborough bought land in the area and named his house Dingley Grange, after Dingley Hall which exists in Dingley in his native [[Northamptonshire]], [[England]]. A farming community developed, relatively remote from either the bayside or Gippsland railway lines, moving into market gardens and poultry to supply metropolitan markets. There was no identifiable centre to the area apart from Christ Church (1873) at the corner of Centre and Old Dandenong Roads, with its attractive architecture and bell tower. The Post Office opened on 21 July 1913.<ref name = "a">{{Citation| last = Premier Postal History | title = Post Office List | url = https://www.premierpostal.com/cgi-bin/wsProd.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=VIC&country= | accessdate = 2008-04-11 }}</ref>

A family of five brothers – the Gartside – solved the problem of vegetable gluts by opening a cannery in about 1920. The cannery employed up to fifty local people. They donated land for the primary school which opened in 1925. In 1936 the Kingswood Golf Club, [[Dandenong, Victoria|Dandenong]], opened its new course at Dingley. A progress association was formed in 1947, and a recreation reserve acquired in 1954. {{citation needed|date=November 2012}}

Urbanisation in Dingley began in the early 1960s. {{Citation needed|date=November 2012}} A small shopping centre, school, kindergarten, reserve and, later, Sunday Markets on the reserve created a village atmosphere which resulted in the official change of name.

Two more primary schools, one Catholic, opened later, along with the Spring Park Public Golf course and nearby tennis-courts complex. Near the [[Moorabbin Airport]] is an industrial zone set in a garden landscape, separated from the Dingley Village residential area by a reservation for the [[Mornington Peninsula Freeway]].

The rock band [[Jet (band)|Jet]] originated from the suburb.<ref>{{Citation|url=http://www.news.com.au/sundaytelegraph/story/0,22049,20458066-5006002,00.html|title=Listen to Jet's new album|last=Holmes|first=Peter|work=Sydney Confidential|date=24 September 2006|accessdate=2006-04-29}}</ref>
