'Comleroy Road'

| An old settlement north of Kurrajong along the Comleroy Road had the unusual distinction of being named after the road itself. Its official name was 'Comleroy Road'. See Geographical Naming Board Statement [Type COMLEROY ROAD into the 'Place Name' field and click Search.] This locality in the Hawkesbury was probably called 'Comleroy Road' to distinguish it from 'Comleroy' in the Hunter Valley. A number of other Australian localities are also named after roads. Read more Comleroy Road had a post office, school, hall, churches, cricket club, guesthouses, racetrack, and a police station and convict camp. 'Comleroy Road' residents in 1890s and 1900s sometimes shortened the name of their locality to 'Comleroy' for simplicity. In articles in The Gazette newspaper in the 1890s and 1900s, the two names were used interchangeably, often within the one paragraph. However, the official name of this locality was 'Comleroy Road'. |
