Claremont Meadows is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales Australia. Claremont Meadows is located 45 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Penrith and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region.
Prior to European colonisation of Australia in 1788, the area was occupied by the Aboriginal Darug tribe. However, in 1810 Governor Macquarie granted 1,055 acres (4.27 km2) of land to Mary Bligh as a wedding present when she married Maurice O'Connell. The property was named Coallee, although the family never resided there. The land was subsequently subdivided, and renamed Claremont by Bryan Molloy. The area was opened for residential housing in 1984 and has grown steadily since.
Claremont Meadows has a small shopping centre, with an IGA Supermarket, Pharmacy, Hair Dressers, Dental Surgery, Hot food Shop and a Bakery . It also has a community centre and two pre-schools. Claremont Meadows Primary School was opened in 1998.
