Artarmon
Artarmon (/ɑːrtɑːrmən/) is a suburb on the lower North Shore of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia, 9 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Willoughby.
In 1794 and 1796, land grants were given to soldiers and emancipists to encourage farming. The most important farm was owned by William Gore (1765–1845), who was the provost marshal under NSW Governor William Bligh. Gore received a grant of 150 acres (0.61 km2) in 1810, and named it Artarmon after his family estate in Ireland. Gore Hill is named after him.
The Chatswood South Uniting Church, located at the corner of Mowbray Road and the Pacific Highway, designed by architect and later mayor of Manly, Thomas Rowe, was built in 1871. A sandstone church in the Gothic style, it features a small belfry flanking the eastern front of the building. Immediately to the west is a small cemetery, with graves going back to 1871. The building was extended in 1883 and 1930; it is now listed on the (now-defunct) Register of the National Estate. The cemetery is listed by the National Trust and is known as the Pioneer's Memorial Reserve.
Artarmon Post Office opened on 1 December 1909. In 2025, it was reported that the Post Office was going to permanently close on 12 March, 2025.
From 1918, Artarmon started to see more suburban development, with the establishment of smaller residential homes and more people moving to the area, drawn by its proximity to central Sydney and the green surroundings. The post-war years saw a boom in suburban development across Sydney, including Artarmon. The suburb became more densely populated and industries began to set up in the area. Up until the end of the 20th century, Artarmon had undergone substantial transformation and the suburb continued to evolve into a more commercial and residential mix.[citation needed]
The Seven Network operated its main headquarters in Artarmon from 1999 to 2016. The site is nowadays occupied by modern mixed-use developments.[citation needed]
Artarmon has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
According to the 2021 census, 9,417 residents were in Artarmon; 46.8% of people were born in Australia. The next-most common countries of birth were China 10.3%, India 7.4%, Hong Kong 3.2%, England 3.0% and Japan 2.0%. About 50.6% of people only spoke English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Mandarin 12.4%, Cantonese 6.6%, Hindi 3.5%, Japanese 3.0% and Nepali 1.7%. The most common responses for religious affiliation were no religion 42.4%, Catholic 15.8%, and Anglican 8.8%. The median weekly household income for Artarmon was AU$2,420, significantly higher than the national median of $1,829.
