Glenfield, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glenfield is a suburb of Sydney, Australia and is located in the Campbelltown City Council municipality. Its population is 6,983. It was named after the property founded by early colonial surgeon, Charles Throsby. Glenfield railway station was built in 1869 and is now part of the East Hills line. In 1881, the first subdivision of the paddocks were marketed.
The suburb was, according to local authorities and advertised at Campbelltown City Library, named after the original Glenfield in England, where Throsby once lived. This is why many of the streets in the suburb have the same names as the original Glenfield in Britain.
