Hoppers Crossing's first shopping centre, Woodville Park, was built and in 1970, the area's first primary school, Mossfiel Primary School, had its first student intake.

—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.”
