Alexandria, Administrative division in Sydney, Australia
Alexandria extends across the inner southern area of Sydney, positioned 5 kilometers from the central business district within the City of Sydney jurisdiction.
The Parish of Alexandria emerged in 1835, commemorating British military victories, and transformed into a municipality in 1868 after separating from Waterloo.
The Serbian Orthodox Eparchy headquarters and Yiu Ming Temple demonstrate the intersection of various cultural communities within this Sydney district.
Transportation links include multiple bus services operated by Transdev John Holland and railway stations connecting residents to Sydney central business district.
By 1943, Alexandria developed into Australia's largest industrial district, manufacturing products in numerous factories throughout the region.
