  City of Hawkesbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The City of Hawkesbury (formerly Hawkesbury Shire) is a Local Government Area of New South Wales, Australia, part of which is at the fringe of the Sydney metropolitan area, about 50 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district.
It was first settled by Europeans in 1794 in a bid to acquire arable land to feed the increasing population of the penal colony at Sydney.
Until recently Hawkesbury city remained largely rural, but urban expansion within Sydney has since transformed the southern part of the Shire into dormitory suburbs; the lack of quality roads and public transport is a major local issue.
