Facts about Fairfield City
Settlement history
The City’s settlement starts with European settlement in 1791. Although population was minimal until the mid 1800s, the City’s growth was soon spurred by the construction of the railway line in 1856. Land was used mainly for timber cutting and crop farming, and had some vineyards and orchards. Rapid growth took place in the post-war period as many ex-service men and European migrants settled in the area, which were aided by a migrant camp at Cabramatta and large scale public housing estates. Growth began to steady during the early 1990s, reaching a population of 181,000 in 1996. The population was relatively stable during the late 1990s, and then declined slightly from 2001, to a population of 179,000 in 2006.
