  Campbelltown, New South Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Campbelltown is a suburb in the City of Campbelltown, in south-western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia, located about 45 km south west of the Sydney central business district.
Campbelltown was designated in the early 1950s as a satellite city, and a regional capital for the south west of Sydney.
Campbelltown today acts as a significant regional centre for southwestern Sydney and while the majority of land within the area has been developed, there is expected to be a great deal of growth in surrounding areas such as Bringelly and Camden in coming years.
