Green Valley is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Green Valley is located west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Liverpool and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region. ==History== Green Valley was originally home to the Cabrogal people who spoke the Darug language. It was covered in eucalypt forests and home to native animals such as wallabies and possums that were hunted by the Cabrogal for meat, hides and bones. When Governor Lachlan Macquarie established a town at nearby Liverpool in 1810, the surrounding areas were soon granted to British settlers who began clearing the forests for farmlands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= A quick history of Liverpool )〕 A large area to the northwest of Liverpool was dubbed Green Valley. As well as the present-day suburb of Green Valley, it included what is now known as Ashcroft, Busby, Cartwright, Heckenberg, Miller, Sadleir and parts of Hinchinbrook and Mount Pritchard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History of our suburbs: Green Valley )〕 Thus, ''Green Valley'' Post Office was open from 1964 until 1973 when it was renamed Miller. One of the first settlers in the area was Peter Miller who gave his name to the nearby suburb of Miller. Another was Charles Scrivener who served as mayor of Liverpool and who oversaw the establishment of Green Valley School in 1882. When the first children began their classes, the school was nothing more than a large tent although a wooden building with an iron roof was constructed not long after. By the 1960s, Sydney's suburban sprawl had reached Liverpool and building began on the Green Valley Housing Estate. The suburb of Green Valley shrank to an area a bit larger than its modern boundaries and it began to develop a new character as a residential area in contrast to its former farming life. The last change to Green Valley's boundaries occurred in 1986 when an undeveloped area at the southern edge of the suburb became part of the new suburb of Hinchinbrook.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Green Valley, New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
