The suburb of Minto is one such place filled with rich, historical events that have helped to shape the town and make it the place it is today. In 1810, on St Andrews Road, Doctor Robert Towson built a sandstock home after being given a parcel of land by the governor and the property was named Varroville. This home was then subsequently owned by historical men such as Charles Sturt and James Raymond. A Georgian bungalow called Epping Forest was built in the 1820’s on Raby Road by Colonel Parker and in 1830 a farm called Robin Hood Farm was built on Campbelltown road. All three of these properties are now listed on the Register of National Estate.
A railway station was built in 1874 then named Campbellfield, though with Campbelltown being so close, this led to confusion resulting in the town and station being renamed Minto in 1882. Later on in the 1950’s developments started taking place in Minto and in 1969 a large portion of land was sold to Housing Commission to provide affordable accommodation to low income families.
