[edit] History

Rosemeadow owes its name to early settler Thomas Rose, who in 1818 bought a farm called Mount Gilead which covered parts of modern-day Rosemeadow and neighbouring Gilead. Rose was a baker and publican as well as a farmer, building a mill on his property and a couple of large dams which helped him and his neighbours survive the drought of 1829. The suburb was officially named in 1976 although houses didn't begin to be built until the 1980s.[1]

[edit] Transport

Rosemeadow is serviced by Campbelltown's local bus company, Busways. It has 3 routes (887, 889, 890), two to St Helens Park and one to Appin and Wollongong. The suburb is accessed via M5 South Western Motorway and Appin Road.[2]
