From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Darlinghurst is an inner eastern suburb of Sydney, Australia. The suburb is named after Elizabeth Darling, the wife of Ralph Darling, who was the Governor of the state of New South Wales during the early 19th century. It is located wholly within the local government area of the City of Sydney. Once a slum (in the 1920s) and a red-light prostitution district, as of the 1990s and early 2000s, it has undergone urban renewal and become a rather upmarket, cosmopolitan and diverse area. It is a densely-populated suburb, with the majority of residents living in apartments or terraced houses.
The area is most famous for the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. The parade which marks the end of this festival takes place on Oxford Street, the main street that runs through several suburbs, including Darlinghurst. Darlinghurst has two of Sydney's museums: the Australian Museum (a natural history museum) and the Sydney Jewish Museum. The suburb also includes St Vincent's Hospital, and is associated with the Sacred Heart Hospice on Darlinghurst Rd, and the Garvan Institute, a medical research institute. The Darlinghurst Court House at Taylor Square is one of Sydney's most historic buildings. It is adjacent to the also historic Darlinghurst Gaol, which is now the East Sydney campus of the National Art School formerly the Sydney Institute of Technology.
The Sydney Church of England Girls' Grammar School (SCEGGS) was founded in 1895 in Victoria St, Darlinghurst, and moved to its current site in Forbes St, Darlinghurst, in 1901. The Darlinghurst Public School is in Womerah Ave and was opened in 1884. The Sydney Grammar School is located on College St, Darlinghurst, across the road from Hyde Park. This school is a boys-only private school, and opened in 1857
