Pitt Town

Pitt Town is a historic town being one of the five 'Macquarie Towns' established by Governor Macquarie in 1810. Bounded in the North by the Hawkesbury River it is an appealing and scenic suburb proud of its heritage.

Situated some 59 kms north west of the Sydney Central Business District it forms part of the Hawkesbury District situated in the City of Hawkesbury local government area. It forms part of a unique and varied region within easy proximity to Rouse Hill Town Centre, Windsor and the larger Castle Hill shopping precinct. Easy access to modern road networks link the area to the Sydney CBD, The Blue Mountains and suburbs and regions in all directions via the M1, M4 & M7 motorways.

It is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Hawkesbury valley and provides close access to the Hawkesbury River which is a natural wonderland for water skiers, fisherman and all round water enthusiasts.

The suburb is named after William Pitt the Younger, an 18^th Century British Prime Minister. A village site was laid out in 1811 but this was relocated to its present site in 1815. The bicentenary of the re-establishment of Pitt Town will be celebrated in 2015. There are many heritage buildings throughout the suburb, still in excellent condition including a number of homes and both the St James Anglican Church and the Scots Presbyterian Church.

In 1981, Pitt Town became nationally famous and a household name as the setting for the fictitious town of Wandin Valley in the long running and popular Australian television series 'A Country Practice'.

Residential expansion in the suburb has grown since 2007, with the establishment of the Vermont and Riverland developments.
