Vineyard is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Vineyard is located 50 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Blacktown. Vineyard is part of the Outer Sydney region. It is bounded in the west by Eastern Creek until its confluence with South Creek, a tributary of the Hawkesbury River.
* History
Vineyard takes its name from the vineyards in this area, since this suburb was originally part of Windsor’s winegrowing district.
The first vineyard was set up by John Paul Ouvrier (he changed his name from “Jean Pierre Ouvrier” to John Paul when he became a Naturalised Australian citizen in 1860), who had immigrated from France with his 2 sons around the 1830s.
