Homebush West History

Attached is a short history of the original suburb of Homebush West, which was once known as Flemington. The suburb has expanded since it was first added to Strathfield Council in 1892. This publication is intended to provide a historical overview of this suburb. There is always more to write! Comments are always welcome.

The featured image on this page is St Dominic’s Catholic Church, The Crescent, Homebush West. This is one of Strathfield’s interesting churches, being designed in the 1950s. Both St Dominic’s and Our Lady of the Assumption in Underwood Road Homebush are the work of architects Cameron and Curtin, both build in a similar time period.

Future editions of this publication will include the other areas of Homebush West, mainly west of Marlborough Road.
