Stanhope Gardens, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stanhope Gardens is a suburb in the City of Blacktown, in Western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
John Hillas (1768-1837) arrived in Australia in 1801 and received two land grants on the Windsor Road. One of these he named "Stanhope Farm", and established an inn, the "Stanhope Arms". Part of the name remained, with the Peel family calling their dairy farm "Stanhope Park". The suburb name reflects these early properties. It was formally recognised as a suburb in 1996. When Stanhope Gardens was first being developed into what it is today, it was called Parklea. A petition was sent around with most people voting to keep Stanhope in the name, becoming Stanhope Gardens.
