Petersham, Residential suburb in Inner West Sydney, Australia
Petersham spans 3.5 square kilometers of urban area southwest of Sydney's central business district, containing residential neighborhoods and commercial zones.
The Municipality of Petersham was established in 1871 and operated independently until 1949 when it merged with the larger Marrickville Council.
The suburb maintains strong Portuguese influences throughout its commercial district, with numerous Portuguese restaurants and businesses along New Canterbury Road.
The Petersham railway station connects residents to Sydney's metropolitan network through regular train services on the Inner West and South Line.
On May 2, 1945, a Mosquito aircraft broke apart over Petersham during a test flight, resulting in the death of crew members.
