Plumpton, which is a component of the Greater Western Sydney region, is situated in the local government area of the City of Blacktown, 46 kilometers west of Sydney’s CBD.
A Woolworths supermarket, a Big W discount department store, a medical facility, banking, fast-food restaurants, and other retail establishments can be found in Plumpton Marketplace, a shopping center. The suburb of Mount Druitt, which offers numerous facilities not found in Plumpton, is close to the town of Plumpton.
The Westlink M7 highway, which forms the eastern boundary of the suburb, provides easy access to Plumpton. The M4 highway is also not far north of the area.
Regular bus service is provided by Busways to the rail stations at Rooty Hill, Mount Druitt, Riverstone, and Blacktown. A peak-hour service is also provided to the Macquarie Center in Macquarie Park along the M2 Hills Motorway.
After the arrival of the Europeans in Australia in 1788, efforts were made to assimilate the Indigenous Australians into European culture. A “Native Institute,” afterwards known as “Black’s Town,” was constructed in the early 1820s near the Plumpton region, at the junction of Rooty Hill Road and Richmond Road, as substantial land concessions had been given nearby Prospect. In 1823, the “School for Aboriginal Children” was transferred to this facility, but by 1833 it had been abandoned.
Black’s Town imprinted its name on the route from Prospect to the institution during the brief time it was in existence. Blacktown got the name of the entire district after the road, village, and railway station that shared its name.
On his farm Woodstock, Walter Lamb (1825–1906) built a cannery, a fruit-preservation facility, and a coursing (greyhound racing) track. Originally known as Woodstock, there was some confusion between this Woodstock and a railway station on the Blayney-Harden line when a post office was created in 1889. Plumpton was the location of the racing in England, therefore that name took the place of Woodstock.
