Carramar is a suburb of Sydney located 30 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD, in the local government area of the City of Fairfield.
The name Carramar comes from an Aboriginal word meaning “shade of trees”. The first land was granted in this area by Governor King in 1803. When the railway station eventually opened in Carramar in 1924, it was called South Fairfield. However, the historical records state that the area has been known as Carramar since at least the 1850s and the name of the station was changed to Carramar in 1926.
