Rosebery is a suburb in south-eastern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located 6km south of the Sydney central business district and is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney. The postcode is 2018.
Rosebery has a mix of residential, commercial and industrial developments. A small shopping centre is located on Gardeners Road.
Rosebery was named after Archibald Phillip Primrose, the fifth Earl of Rosebery, prime minister of England in 1894-95. The suburb was named in his honour after his visit to Australia for two months in 1883-84.
Rosebery was once the site of Rosebery Racecourse, which first opened as a pony track in 1906. Race meetings held by the Associated Racing Clubs became as popular as those at Randwick, especially in the 1920s. The track became an army camp during World War II. After the war, it became a training track used by the Sydney Turf Club.
In 1961 much of the land was purchased by the Rosebery Town Planning Company and developed as an industrial area. The housing commission purchased the remaining acres for high density public housing.
