This city was notorious for its anti-Semitic activity during the Nazi period. As of January 1930, a Social Democrat named Franz Klingler was attacked. Jewish citizens began to be attacked in public, and police were suspected of collaborating with Nazis. On the occasion of former Chancellor Hermann Muller's visit to Coburg, the SA raided the SPD. When SPD rally participants returned home, twenty-two Nazis attacked them.
The town is home to several parks, including Victoria Park. The city hosts a number of festivals and events, including the Cobourg Waterfront Festival, a three-day arts and crafts event held annually on Canada Day. The town also boasts elementary schools, including C.R. Gummow Public School and Merwin Greer Public School, as well as the Hamilton Catholic Academy. Among the schools in the city, St. Michaels Catholic School is the most popular for students.
The city's tram system served the University of Melbourne, located on Madeline Street. A second major landmark was His Majesty's Prison Pentridge, formerly known as Bluestone College. It closed in 1997, and Maxwell Charles Skinner commandeered a tram in an attempt to escape. This tragedy was the beginning of the end of the Coburg tram system, and the first train in Coburg did not stop for anyone.
