Oran Park is located in the local government area of Camden Council, 59 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district. The suburb is often cited as an example of urban sprawl.

History

The area now known as Oran Park was originally home to the Dharawal people. In 1805, John Macarthur established his property at Camden where he raised merino sheep.

The locality was part of Nepean Shire Council until 1948, at which time the shire council was split up between Penrith, Liverpool and Camden Councils. Oran Park was part of the shire's C Riding and was amalgamated with Camden Municipal Council.

The Oran Park Town housing development replaced Oran Park Raceway, which stood from 1962 – 2010. The circuit hosted the Australian Grand Prix in its pre-Formula One era and rounds of the Australian Touring Car Championship, later known as the Supercars Championship.

These urban fringe-dwellers have been recently joined by developer corporations selling dreams to new suburbanites who live in streets named after motor racing celebrities.
