ST GEORGE, NEW SOUTH WALES

Location of the original St. George parish within Cumberland County

'St. George Area' (also known as 'St. George District' or 'St. George Region') is an unofficial name applied to a group of southern suburbs in Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The area includes all the suburbs in the local government areas of Hurstville, Rockdale and Kogarah. The eastern boundary of the district is Lady Robinson Beach.
St. George Parish was one of the original parishes within Cumberland County. There were eight other parishes named after saints; but St. George and St. James are the only ones which are widely known today.
The regional identity was reinforced by the creation in 1949 of a federal electorate, the Division of St George, in the area. The Division was abolished in 1993.
