Homebush, Victoria
Homebush was a goldmining town 10 kilometres (6 mi) from Avoca in central Victoria, Australia. The locality is within the Pyrenees Shire.
First settled in 1853 after a rush to a rich claim nearby, the town reached the height of its prosperity in the 1880s. But Homebush owed its existence entirely to the mines: when the gold ran out and the mines closed the town rapidly declined and died. All that remains of a once-flourishing community is a school building and some mullock heaps.
Planned development began in June 1860 when, following a second rush to the diggings, Homebush was surveyed and its streets laid out. Homebush Post Office opened on 1 October 1863 (closing in 1944). Three churches were built, and within little more than a decade. The town opened its railway station, homebush railway station. By 1884 Homebush was firmly established as a business centre, with two agents, a bootmaker, a butcher, two carpenters, two contractors, nine farmers, a gardener, a registrar...

Dubulti
Dubulti is the administrative center and the oldest part of Jūrmala, Latvia.
History
The settlement derives its name from the Lett Dubults, who had an inn there in the 15th century. Dubulti however is first mentioned in the 18th century. Later a fishing settlement formed. After the war of 1812, Dubulti became a rest point for those going to Courland. The first vacationing noblemen visited the local beaches in 1814. The Germans once called Dubulti Judenburg because of Jews who had rights to settle there. In 1841 the settlement gained an official name Dubbeln. The inn of Dubults was demolished in 1930s.
Among Dubulti's landmarks are Lutheran church (built in 1907–09), Marienbad sanatorium of 1870 and Orthodox church, built around 1860.
