Description:
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.

Why You'll Love It:
A key resource for historians, educators, and Fairfield residents, this book captures the evolution of a suburban region often overlooked in broader Sydney histories. Ideal for collectors of local government publications and regional Australian studies.
