Albion Park

DESCRIPTION

NameAlbion ParkTypeSuburbDescriptionA suburb on the Illawarra Highway bounded, more or less, by the Macquarie Rivulet, Frazers Ck and Hazelton Ck.
Albion Park was originally part of a grant issued to former convict Samuel Terry in 1817. The Terry’s Meadows Estate operated as a cattle stud and employed many of the area’s first European settlers. John Terry Hughes inherited the estate from his uncle and renamed it Albion Park.
"Hughes had quite a fancy for the name Albion and called all his landed possessions in various parts of the country Albion something or other. This estate having been the best of the lot and his favourite place of residence he named it by way of distinction Albion Park' Quoted from The Town and Country Journal."
