History
Boroondara was formed as the Star of Camberwell Football Club around 1890.[4] The club changed its name to Boroondara on 24 June 1891.[5]
In 1897, the club joined the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA) after absorbing Camberwell Juniors.[4] Arthur Leach and Fred Leach both played for Boroondara and were among the club's strongest players until moving to the Victorian Football League (VFL), joining Essendon and Collingwood respectively.[6][7] The club withdrew from the MJFA late in the season and likely went into recess.[8][9][10]
Boroondara returned to the MJFA for the 1903 season and remained in the competition in 1904.[11][12][13]
Following the end of the 1904 season, Booroondara merged with fellow MJFA club Hawthorn at the competition's annual meeting on 30 April 1905.[14] Hawthorn retained its own name, but adopted Boroondara's colours of a black guernsey with a red sash.[15]
