Thornleigh, Administrative division in Hornsby Shire, Australia
Thornleigh forms part of the Hornsby Shire Council, situated 25 kilometers north of Sydney, featuring residential areas surrounded by natural bushland.
The establishment of the Main North railway line in the 1880s connected Thornleigh to Sydney and Newcastle, leading to increased settlement in the area.
The region maintains strong connections to both Darug and Kuringgai peoples, who were the original inhabitants of the lands within Hornsby Shire.
Thornleigh railway station provides regular train services to Sydney, while multiple educational facilities and shopping centers serve the local community.
The suburb derives its name from the thorny bushes that characterized the landscape during the early periods of European settlement in New South Wales.
