Campbelltown is an older suburb of Sydney, and one so large that it is considered to be a city within a city, (i.e. the city of Campbelltown). As such it is listed electorally as the administrative centre for the state district of Campbelltown in the Federal Division of MacArthur, and is surrounded by numerous suburbs. The area has a long history going as far back as the first fleet in 1788 long before settlement actually began. Grand plans were put in place for its development many times, but circumstances often necessitated them being put on hold. It was much later when Campbell-Town, now simply known as Campbelltown was eventually established.
