1788Parramatta settled

24 kmWest of the Sydney CBD

Parramatta was founded in 1788 and is described as the oldest inland European settlement in Australia. It sits on the Parramatta River, about 24 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD, and the Dharug people knew the place as Burramatta, meaning eel place. Old Government House dates from 1799, Centenary Square was created in 1975, and Parramatta was gazetted as a city in 1976. The 2021 census recorded 30,211 residents. Wikipedia calls it the River City because the Parramatta River flows through its CBD, and regards it as Sydney's second CBD.

Good to know before you go

This is a weekday market with long hours, so it suits a lunchtime visit as well as a morning shop. The council notes the market skips Wednesday 21 October 2026 because of the Parramatta Lanes event, and the council's event page lists any other changes.

Church Street is Parramatta's main commercial thoroughfare, and the square sits at its centre. Because entry is free, a first visit costs nothing. The council's event page lists an office email for the operator, and the market has its own Facebook and Instagram pages.
