The construction of Narre Warren railway station, however, moved the township 2 km to the south, which is what happened to Upper Beaconsfield, Clyde North and many other townships.
Reflecting this, Narre Warren Post Office opened on 21 January 1869 and in 1900 was renamed Narre Warren North, and Narre Warren Railway Station office (open since 1886) was renamed Narre Warren.[3]
