Fairfield A History of the District

Commissioned by the Fairfield City Council, Fairfield: A History of the District presents a comprehensive and richly illustrated account of the development of one of western Sydney’s most diverse and dynamic municipalities.

First published in 1982 and updated in this 1991 second edition, Vance George’s work traces Fairfield’s growth from its early rural settlement to its postwar expansion and multicultural transformation.

Edited by Sheila English, this volume blends local biography, civic development, and community memory into a significant regional chronicle.
