History of Rippleside
Geelong's early settlers were attracted to the area which is now Rippleside because of its convenience, being close to the Melbourne-Geelong Road which runs to the west of Rippleside Park. By 1854, after Geelong settlers had purchased land in the area, the Rippleside Hotel and local general store were opened.
