It is one of the busier suburbs within the Hills with many businesses available in the large town centre. To the east lies [[Epping, New South Wales|Epping]]; to the north lie [[Beecroft, New South Wales|Beecroft]], [[North Rocks, New South Wales|North Rocks]] and [[West Pennant Hills, New South Wales|West Pennant Hills]]; to the west [[North Parramatta, New South Wales|North Parramatta]] and to the south [[Oatlands, New South Wales|Oatlands]] and [[Telopea, New South Wales|Telopea]].

'''How you can help''' create articles:
{{unreferencedsect}}
* If you don't know anything about the subject, do a [http://www.google.com Google], [http://scholar.google.com Google Scholar] or other web search, or look it up in a book!
Originally, the area of Carlingford was called [[Mobbs Hill, New South Wales|Mobbs Hill]], named after the ex-convict settler William Mobbs, who is credited for bringing [[orange (fruit)|orange]]s to Australia. Carlingford received its current name after a vote in 1886 by the residents. The name was suggested by Frederick Cox after he heard one of his employees describe similarities between Mobbs Hill and the town of [[Carlingford, County Louth|Carlingford]], located in the east of [[Ireland]]. Carlingford was also probably named in honour of [[Chichester Parkinson-Fortescue, 1st Baron Carlingford|The Lord Carlingford]].
* [[Wikipedia:Searching|Search Wikipedia]] to make sure an article on the subject doesn't already exist. If it does, make a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] to it from the requested title.
* Click on a red link, and start writing the article. At a minimum, we need a definition of the subject, so other people know what the article is supposed to be about and can then add more. If you can write a paragraph or more, that would be even better. Be sure to [[Wikipedia:Cite sources|cite your sources]], even if you don't have time to add formal formatting.
* Once the article has been created, its link here will turn blue (unless you are looking at a [[cache]]d version of this page.) You can either remove it from the list yourself, or wait for it to be removed automatically by a bot within 24 hours.
* Encourage others to help by putting the following in your edit summary when you create the article:
::''<nowiki>Long-standing article request fulfilled. [[WP:AR1|You can help!]]</nowiki>''
 
The area was settled in the mid-[[1800]]s and, at the time, was an [[agriculture|agricultural]] area on the outskirts of Sydney. Like much of the Hills District, Carlingford was a significant orange-growing area for the city. [[Pennant Hills Road]], then a major arterial road from Parramatta to the northern suburbs, was a major route of transportation for agricultural produce from the area. When the train line which terminates at [[Carlingford railway station, Sydney|Carlingford Railway Station]] was completed in 1896, it, too, became a major route for the area. Carlingford Produce, a gardening and agricultural-materials seller located next to the train station, is located in the former train workshops. This store, much like James Ruse Agricultural High School (see below) remain as testaments to the agricultural history of the suburb.
'''Some requests cannot be filled''' because:
* The title is not [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|NPOV]]
* The article will ''never'' be longer than a dictionary definition
* The subject is not encyclopedic
 
In April [[1923]] the [[Wesley Mission|Wesley Central Mission]] established the Dalmar Children's Homes on fifteen acres of land near Marsden Road in the eastern end of the suburb. The property eventually had many cottages, together with a hospital, an orchard and vegetable gardens. The land is now the site of the Alan Walker Retirement Village.
If you find a request that cannot be filled, feel free to just remove it from this page. You might also create an entry on [[Wiktionary]], if appropriate. Such decisions can be subjective. If you are unsure, you can always ask for a second opinion on the talk page or elsewhere.
 
As Sydney rapidly expanded, following [[World War II]], Carlingford underwent rapid [[urbanisation]] starting in the late [[1960]]s. The presence of James Ruse Agricultural High School, established in [[1959]], is a testament to the agricultural history of Carlingford as well as the rapid pace of urbanisation; which soon made the school, and its large farm, somewhat of an anomaly amongst the 1970s- and 1980s-style houses which dominate the suburb. More recently, in the [[1990]]s, the government policy of [[urban consolidation]] has seen the development of high-density units and [[apartment block]]s around the town centre and the train station. There have also been redevelopments of older houses into medium-density [[Rowhouse|townhouse]]s, and [[Semi-detached|duplex housing]].

[[Image:Carlingford carlocourt.jpg|thumb|300px|Carlingford Court Shopping Centre.]]
[[Frank Brettell]] -
Carlingford has two [[shopping centre]]s - Carlingford Court, which underwent major reconstruction in the late [[1990]]s, and Carlingford Village. Carlingford Court is a typical suburban shopping centre, and is home to major businesses such as Target and Fitness First. Carlingford Village is a smaller shopping complex, which has many Asian food outlets and tends to appeal more to the Chinese community. {{fact}}

The population of Carlingford, as with the rest of northern Sydney is relatively affluent. [[Baulkham Hills Shire]] and [[Hornsby Shire]] councils generally have a majority of conservative councillors. Most of the electoral divisions that Carlingford lies within have historically been held by the [[Liberal Party of Australia]]. The exception is Parramatta City Council, and the electoral division and district of Parramatta which include sections of southern Sydney and tend to be marginal seats.

==Transport==

As with much of Sydney, Carlingford has relatively limited public transport access, which is reflected in the low public transport patronage by commuters. In the 2001 census, 6% of commuters travelled to work via trains while 2% used buses.
 
There are a number of bus services which pass through Carlingford. Harris Park Transport, a now defunct bus company, used to operate routes 623, 624, 625, 628, and 629 which pass through the suburb. The 630 was operated by Red Arrow, a joint-venture of Harris Park Transport and [[Westbus]]. As of February 2005, these former Harris Park services (with the exception of route 630) are operated by [[Sydney Buses]] ([[State Transit Authority of New South Wales]]). Previously routes 513 and 521 were the only Sydney Buses services through Carlingford. The former 621 and 622 Citybus Direct (owned by Harris Park Transport) routes from Carlingford to the city proved to be uneconomical and were eliminated.
 
Current bus lines operated by Sydney Buses include:
* 513 [[West Ryde, New South Wales|West Ryde]] to Carlingford
* 521 [[Parramatta]] to [[Eastwood, New South Wales|Eastwood]]
* 623 [[Beecroft, New South Wales|Beecroft]] to [[Parramatta]]
* 624 [[Parramatta]] to [[Epping, New South Wales|Epping]] via [[Pennant Hills Road]], Carlingford
* 628 [[Epping, New South Wales|Epping]] to Carlingford
* 629 [[Epping, New South Wales|Epping]] to [[North Rocks, New South Wales|North Rocks]]
 
Current bus lines operated by Hillsbus include:
* 610 [[Castle Hill, New South Wales|Castle Hill]] to City via Oakes Road M2 Bus Station
* 611 [[Blacktown, New South Wales|Blacktown]] to [[Macquarie Centre]] via Oakes Road M2 Bus Station
* 625 [[Parramatta]] to [[Pennant Hills, New South Wales|Pennant Hills]] via [[Pennant Hills Road]], Carlingford
* 627 [[Parramatta]] to [[Cherrybrook, New South Wales|Cherrybrook]] via [[Pennant Hills Road]], Carlingford
* 630 [[Blacktown, New South Wales|Blacktown]] to [[Macquarie Park, New South Wales|Macquarie Park]] (in conjunction with Westbus)
=== Railways ===
 
[[CityRail]] provides an infrequent train service at [[Carlingford railway station, Sydney|Carlingford Station]], which is the terminus of the [[Carlingford railway line, Sydney|Carlingford Line]]. The Carlingford Line is a mostly single-track line. There is currently only one service in the early morning which connects to the city directly, at other times a train-change at [[Clyde, New South Wales|Clyde]], is necessary to reach other stations, and consequently the service has a low patronage. As part of the [[CityRail Clearways Project]], a passing loop has been promised to the Carlingford Line with two services per hour all day to become effective in [[2010]].
 
=== Roads ===
Carlingford suffers from major traffic congestion during morning and afternoon peaks. Because of the limited public transport most residents travel to work by cars. In the 2001 census, 60% stated their main method of getting to work was driving their own vehicle. The Cumberland Highway, a major north-south route through greater Sydney, intersects Carlingford in the form of Pennant Hills Road. As well, many motorists commuting from the Hills District and the growing north-west areas of Sydney travel through Carlingford to the city.
 
The [[M2 Hills Motorway (Sydney)|M2 Hills Motorway]], part of the Sydney orbital road, runs through northern Carlingford providing a route to the city and [[North Sydney]]. Since the [[Westlink M7|Westlink M7 Motorway]] was finished, completing the Sydney Orbital, it has replaced the Cumberland Highway as the north-south national highway. This has, however, not relieved much of the traffic congestion on [[Pennant Hills Road]] (south of the M2 Hills Motorway), and has increased traffic congestion on the M2 Hills Motorway {{Fact|date=April 2007}}.
 
The area of Carlingford to the east of Pennant Hills Road and North of Carlingford Road, was built mostly in the years, post WWII. There is an area of streets named after famous North African battle fields.
 
==Sport==
Carlingford has many sporting clubs participating in many different sports, and at many locations around the Hills District including:
*[http://carlingfordbaseball.com.au/ Carlingford Baseball]
*[http://www.isport.com.au/netball/hills/hgchome.cl?PT=&C=CAR Carlingford Netball]
*Carlingford Redbacks Soccer
*Carlingford Cricket
*[[North Rocks Soccer Football Club|North Rocks Soccer Club]], which is actually in Carlingford, rather than in [[North Rocks, New South Wales|North Rocks]].
 
==Schools==
Carlingford is the ___location of a large number of [[public school|public]] and [[private school]]s. Indeed some residents have chosen to move to Carlingford because of the reputation of the schools there and in nearby suburbs.

==Churches==
[[Image:Carlingford ldstemple.jpg|thumb|150px|LDS Sydney Australia Temple, Carlingford]]
As with much of northern Sydney, Carlingford also has a comparatively large number of Christian churches of many denominations. These include:
* Carlingford [[Baptist Church]] [http://www.carlingford-baptist.org/]
* Carlingford [[Uniting Church]] [http://www.carlingforduca.org.au/]
* [[Catholic Parish of Epping and Carlingford|St. Gerard Majella Catholic Church]] [http://www.eppcarl.org.au/carlingford/carl_index.htm]

* Parramatta City Presbyterian Church [http://www.homestead.com/nsw_act/ParramattaCityPresbyterian.html]
 
The Pacific headquarters and [[Sydney Australia Temple]] of [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] was constructed in Carlingford in [[1984]].
 
==Telecommunications==
The Carlingford telephone exchange is located at 413 North Rocks Rd. It serves telephony for Carlingford and nearby suburbs such as Dundas Valley, Telopea and North Rocks.
 
==Other infrastructure==
Carlingford is the site for the control room for the New South Wales electricity grid. A major electricity [[Electrical substation|substation]], operated by [[Integral Energy]], is next to the building housing the control room. The same site also houses one of the major communications relay towers in northern Sydney. This substation used to be connected to Carlingford Station via a siding. While most of the line has since disappeared, some of the remains of the line can be seen from Jenkins Road. An image of this line can be viewed [http://www.nswrail.net/locations/photo.php?name=NSW:Carlingford:8&line=NSW:carlingford:0 here], which is from a website dedicated to railways in New South Wales.
