The suburb lies between Port Road and Cheltenham Parade, which form its southwest and eastern boundaries respectively. The suburb is split in two by the Outer Harbor railway line.[8]
History
Cheltenham Post Office opened on 8 February 1897 and closed in 1910.[9]
The plant attracted a lot of people to live in the area and especially in the adjacent suburb of Woodville through the 20th century. However, Holden progressively moved its operations to its Elizabeth plant through the 1980s, leading to the closure of Holden Woodville Plant.[10]
