South Windsor

What if a suburb could change its name? South Windsor in Sydney did just that. Once known as “Newtown,” South Windsor officially adopted its current name on September 10, 2004. South Windsor nestles between Rickabys Creek to the west and South Creek to the east. Both creeks flow into the Hawkesbury River, shaping the landscape of this unique suburb.

The remaining population adds a touch of international flavor, with England (3.0%), India (1.7%), New Zealand (1.6%), the Philippines (1.5%), and Scotland (0.5%) contributing to the suburb’s diversity. And, a fun fact for you: South Windsor is home to Bede Polding College, a Catholic secondary school. This adds another layer to the rich tapestry of South Windsor. A blend of youth, established roots, and a touch of the global.
