Jamisontown, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jamisontown is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Jamisontown is located 56 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Penrith and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region. It is located on the eastern side of the Nepean River, just south of Penrith.
[edit] History
[edit] Aboriginal Culture
Prior to European settlement, what is now Jamisontown was home to the Mulgoa people who spoke the Darug language. They lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle governed by traditional laws, which had their origins in the Dreamtime. Their homes were bark huts called 'gunyahs'. They hunted kangaroos and emus for meat, and gathered yams, berries and other native plants.[1]
[edit] European Settlement
In 1805, the colony's surgeon-general (and First Fleet settler), Thomas Jamison (1753-1811), was granted 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) on the banks of the Nepean River, to the south of what is now Jamison Road. Later, the property passed to his son, Sir John Jamison (1776-1844), Kt, MD, MLC - a celebrated physician, land owner and political reformer, who erected the nearby Regentville mansion (since destroyed by fire) in the 1820s.
The land at Jamisontown stayed rural for the next 150 years or so. In 1911, it was the departure point for the first cross-country flight in Australia, made by William Ewart Hart. In the 1960s the area began to be subdivided and developed and in 1976, Jamisontown was officially gazetted as a neighbourhood.[2]
[edit] Transport
Mulgoa Road is the main road in the suburb, connecting with both Penrith and the M4 Western Motorway which in turns provides quick connection to greater Sydney and the Blue Mountains. The nearest railway station is at Penrith on the Western Line of the Cityrail network. Westbus provides three bus services in the area with the 794 connecting Jamisontown to Penrith, the 795 connecting to Penrith and Mulgoa, and the 797 connecting to Penrith and Glenmore Park. [3]
[edit] Education
Jamisontown Public School is the only school in the suburb. Jamison High School is actually located in South Penrith.
