MARRICKVILLE
Subdivisions
On the right, is a graph showing the number of subdivision plans that have been located in the State Library of NSW for each decade between 1830 to 1930. It is obvious that development began to accellerate in the 1870's and really took off in the 1880's. The depression in the early 1890's slowed development down and finally tapered off in the depression of the 1930's, when just about all available land in Marickville had been subdivided.
The table below has a list of the subdivisions that I have located in the State Library of New South Wales. Below that is the actual subdivision plans and they are, in themselves, a wonderful history.
