Clyde is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Clyde is located 21 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the City of Parramatta. Clyde is part of the Greater Western Sydney region.
History
Clyde is named for the River Clyde in Scotland and was thought to be a suitable name because a subdivision of land made in 1878 here was called New Glasgow.
Rosehill Junction was the name of the railway station that opened here in 1882, just west of the bridge over the Duck River. It was a junction for the Western railway line with the Carlingford railway line and Sandown railway line. The Commissioner of Railways Edward Miller Grant Eddy renamed the station Clyde Junction. The station reverted its name to Clyde in 1904.
The Clyde Engineering Co., Ltd. was established in 1898, consolidating the railway industry's importance of Clyde.
