Bexley North is a suburb in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 13 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district. It is part of the St George area. Bexley North is in the local government area of the Bayside Council.
James Chandler named Bexley after his birthplace in London (formerly Kent), England. Chandler bought Sylvester’s Farm in 1822, from Thomas Sylvester who had been granted the land about ten years earlier. That year he was also granted 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) of land which stretched from what is now Bexley North to most of Rockdale and Kogarah. Development in the area began in 1884 with the railway line to Hurstville.
The opening of the East Hills line and the railway station at Bexley North in 1931, opened up the area for home sites.
Bexley North is mostly a residential suburb with a small shopping centre located around the intersection of Bexley Road with Slade Road and Shaw Street, close to Bexley North railway station. It features a Flemings supermarket, a pub, specialty shops including a prominently placed funeral parlour, cafes and restaurants.
Bexley North railway station is on the Airport, Inner West & South Line of the Sydney Trains network. Bexley North is also serviced by State Transit Authority bus routes and private bus routes.
