Parish: Petersham County: Cumberland Macdonaldtown is an urban locality in Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located 4 km south-west of the Sydney central business district, within the suburb of Newtown and very close to Erskineville. It is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney and informally part of the region of the Inner West. The locality is around Macdonaldtown railway station, on the Inner West line of the City Rail network. The area was originally part of a grant made to Irishman, Nicholas Devine. Devine built his homestead on the corner of Erskineville Road and George Street. A Mr Macdonald, who owned a large ironmongery at the corner of George and Market Streets in the city, lived near the present Macdonaldtown station and was a major property owner here. He must have had good standing in the area because when the railway station opened in 1855, it was named Macdonaldtown. The suburb covered a large area in those days including the land that is Erskineville today. Macdonaldtown was incorporated as a local government area in 1872. Erskineville became a separate suburb in 1893. Darlington, Eveleigh, Golden Grove and Macdonaldtown These four small neighbourhoods of quiet tree lined streets are close to the City, Glebe and Newtown and enjoy all that lively King Street has to offer.

Erskineville became a separate suburb in 1893. Like most inner western suburbs, Macdonaldtown has narrow streets, and close rather gungy houses. Despite that, it has rather a lot of charm. Newtown is bohemian, Erskineville is wannabe hip. The other close suburb, Redfern, is trouble. You never hear of problems in Macdonaldtown.鈾?br /> Location Map: http://www.street-directory.com.au/sd_ne... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/macdonaldto... http://www.dogmac.com/sydneyvisions/litt...
