Hurstville, Administrative district in Southern Sydney, Australia
Hurstville extends across a densely populated area 16 kilometers south of Sydney central business district, functioning as the administrative center of Georges River Council.
The land grants to Captain John Townson and Robert Townson in 1808 established the first European agricultural settlements in the Hurstville region.
The district maintains strong connections to its Indigenous heritage through the Eora people who inhabited the lands along Georges River before European settlement.
Westfield Hurstville and Hurstville Central shopping centers provide retail services, while the railway station connects residents to Sydney's transportation network.
The name Hurstville combines the English word 'hurst' for wooded hill and 'ville' for town, reflecting the original landscape of this New South Wales region.
