It is not well known that over 130 nationalities live in the Fairfield Local Government Area and over three quarters of all residents have overseas ancestry. Fairfield is one of the most culturally diverse areas in Australia. This history documents the story of migration and settlement in Fairfield from its indigenous beginnings to our present day ‘city of migrants’.
Fairfield: Evolution Of A Migrant City was written by Dr Stephen Gapps for the NSW Migration Heritage Centre and Fairfield City Museum & Gallery as part of a thematic study.
