Eight Hour Pioneer Settlement Post Office opened in 1902, was renamed Wonga Park around 1907 and closed in 1989.

[citation needed] The residential development of Wonga Park came after the subdivisions in Croydon and Mooroolbark, which were on the Maroondah Highway and a railway line.

Residential living is most concentrated around the old village settlement where the church, hall, sports facilities, fire station and local shops are found.

An IGA supermarket and Saam Saii Thai restaurant are located on Jumping Creek Rd, Wonga Park.

It offers local foods and produce, craft, plants, music and children’s activities.

It has a cellar door for wine tastings, occasional live music and an annual cider festival in autumn.
