Old Windsor Road

(c1791, c1820s, c1860). This inter-regional road system was developed in two parts, first as a connecting route between the Parramatta township and the convict stockade and compound at Toongabbie Farm in 1791, and secondly as a connecting route from the Toongabbie Farm to the Hawkesbury Settlements terminating at Green Hills (now Windsor) in 1794. The route was known as the Toongabbee Road and then, until 1802, as the Hawkesbury Road. Between 1802 and 1810 a new route springing from Church Street Parramatta to Green Hills was set out and constructed and when Green Hills was re-named Windsor in 1810, that new route took the name Windsor New Road. The former route became referred to as the Toongabbee Old Road and the Hawkesbury Old Road. After the closure of the Toongabbie Government Farm in 1811, quarry and cargo carts took an easier grade around the Hill forming the nucleus of a road which was formalised in the subdivision of the Parramatta Domain in 1860 and which became locally known as Old Windsor Road.
