History

Prior to the creation in 1831 of the Swan River Colony, the southern Fremantle foreshore was roughly in the same line as the area where Marine Terrace (previously called Fitzgerald Terrace) is now. In 1831, just two years after the establishment, Henry Reveley built a stone jetty near perhaps at least from Anglesea Point near Bathers Beach. A second Jetty (South Jetty) was constructed in 1854 on the exact location. The winter storms caused destruction to the foreshore structures and a sea wall was constructed through convicts (c.1880) which helped alleviate the issue, however, sea encroachment and sand drift continued. In 1873, the kilometre-long Long Jetty was constructed nearby and extended across Anglesea Point.

In 1902, more land was cleared from the ocean and the Esplanade was constructed through the help of the state government. Also, the return of the section of privately owned land belonging to J. Briggs M.L.C.A Bandstands were officially opened in. The first Norfolk Island Pines were planted in 1908.The the first Norfolk Island Pines began to be planted in 1908.
