Queen Victoria Market​ ​ ​ ​  The Queen Victoria Market was built in 10th March 1878. It was named Queen Victoria Market after Queen Victoria who ruled the British Empire, from 1837 to 1901. After Queen Victoria Market was made it started as a small market to the East of the city in the 1850's. Then as time went by the market gradually grew bigger until the Cemetery next to the market had to be destroyed to make the Queen Victoria Market larger. The Old Melbourne Cemetery that use to be next to the Queen Victoria Market had a very special grave. The man in that grave was John Batman who founded Melbourne in 1835. He was born in 1801 and died in 1839 after the Old Melbourne Cemetery was destroyed John Batman body was moved to another cemetery called Fawkner Cemetery.
