The Pascoe Vale area was part of the original John Pascoe Fawkner estate. In 1841 Dr Farquhar McCrae, a wealthy surgeon, purchased land called 'La Rose' in what is now known as Pascoe Vale South. The house he built in 1842 or 1843 is now known as Wentworth House, and is the oldest known private dwelling in Victoria still standing on its original site and the fifth oldest building in Victoria. It is located at 22 Le Cateau Street, Pascoe Vale South.
Significant development of Pascoe Vale South took place after the tram was extended to Bell Street in 1927, with the post office opening on 1 August 1927.
According to the 2001 Census data, Pascoe Vale South is primarily a family residential suburb with average income, education and relatively low unemployment.
