Description

This record is for the municipality of Parramatta in Sydney, NSW but is displayed as "Parramatta" as this was the more commonly used name. The area was formed in 1861 as the Municipality of Parramatta and became The Borough of Parramatta in 1867, eventually becoming the City of Parramatta in 1938. In 1948 Ermington-Rydalmere, Dundas, Granville and Parramatta councils were amalgamated.
