History

West Hoxton is an extension of Hoxton Park. Hoxton Park was named in 1887 when Phillips and Co, a syndicate, subdivided the land under that name. Thomas Setrop Amos, a London solicitor, who arrived in Sydney in 1816, was granted 800 acres (3.2 km2) in this area in June 1818. [3]

West Hoxton was primarily developed during the late 1990s as a residential area.

Since the turn of the 21st century, West Hoxton has boasted a substantial share of its population born overseas, from a wide range of countries, which indicates that this area had a relatively multicultural population. Amongst those who were born overseas, it featured a notably higher percentage of the population born in non-English-speaking countries compared to those born in mainly English-speaking countries. The overseas-born population in West Hoxton includes those from Europe, as well as from more recent arrivals from Asia and the Pacific.
