 | | Hornsby Shire got its name from the town of Hornsby at the eastern end of the Shire, believed to be derived from Convict-turned-Constable Samuel Henry Horne, who earned distinction by capturing bushrangers Dalton and MacNamara on June 22, 1830. |
 | | The estimated population of Hornsby Shire as of June 2003 was 155,971 (Australian Bureau of Statistics). |
 | | The main roads within the Shire are the F3 Freeway (which is managed federally), running from the Wahroonga northward to the city of Newcastle; the Pacific Highway, running from Wahroonga southward to the CBD; the Pennant Hills Road (part of Cumberland Highway), running from Hornsby westward to Parramatta; and part of the M2 tollway. |
