History
The suburb of Gables was originally the site of a dairy farm owned by Robert Hurrell. This dairy was divided into two parts due to its size and was named Blue Gables and Red Gables.
Red Gables Road, which cuts through the middle of the suburb, and The Gables, an ongoing residential development since 2015, were named after the dairy farms. The name of the suburb was subsequently derived from this as well.
Gables was gazetted on 17 July 2020. A large portion of Gables was previously part of the suburb of
Box Hill and a smaller portion in the north was part of the suburb of
Maraylya.
