Stanmore

Cadigal people walked the ridge line, which later became Stanmore Road, before the Europeans arrived. The land was granted to officers of the New South Wales Corps in 1792, and became farms, orchards and grazing land. Subdivided in the 1880s and 1890s, Stanmore developed around the railway station with Victorian villas and Federation houses. In the twentieth century, the suburb's fortunes declined, but by the 1970s gentrification was beginning to change Stanmore again.

Greeks

Sydney's Hellenic community is one of the city's largest and most influential, with a long and complex history. Greek-speaking people came from many parts of the Mediterranean, as well as Hellas itself, and have maintained their diverse cultural traditions at the same time as becoming part of Sydney's institutions and cultural and business life.
