[[Image:Artarmon, New South Wales street.jpg|left|thumb|Hampden Road, Artarmon, New South Wales facing north outside [[Artarmon railway station, Sydney]]. Taken 6 April, 2005.]]
Artarmon is a residential area, with high-rise buildings to the west of the [[Artarmon railway station, Sydney|Artarmon railway station]] and high-value houses to the east. There is also an industrial area south of the [[Gore Hill Freeway]], however the suburb as a whole, retains a rather leafy feel. The [[North Shore line, Sydney|North Shore rail line]] cuts through Artarmon, with a long row of shops opposite the station on Hampden Road and a number of restaurants in Wilkes Avenue on the other side of the station. It is also home to Artarmon Public School, not far south from where the photo was taken.

==History==
In 1794 and 1796, land grants were given to soldiers and emancipists to encourage farming. The most important farm was owned by [[William Gore (provost marshal)|William Gore]] (1765–1845), who was the [[Provost Marshal|provost marshal]] under NSW Governor [[William Bligh]]. Gore received a grant of {{convert|150|acre|km2}} in 1810, and named it Artarmon after his family estate in [[Ireland]]. [[Gore Hill]] is named after him.<ref>''The Book of Sydney Suburbs'', Frances Pollon, ''[[Angus & Robertson]]'' 1990 {{ISBN|0-207-14495-8}}, page 6</ref>
In 1794, land grants were given to soldiers and emancipists west of the [[Artarmon railway station, Sydney|Artarmon railway station]]. As Sydney grew, the North Shore suburb (along with the rest of the [[Lower North Shore (Sydney)|Lower North Shore]]) began to find itself closer and closer to the city.


The [[Chatswood South Uniting Church]], located at the corner of Mowbray Road and the [[Pacific Highway, Australia|Pacific Highway]], designed by architect and later [[List of mayors of Manly|mayor of Manly]], [[Thomas Rowe]], was built in 1871. A sandstone church in the Gothic style, it features a small belfry flanking the eastern front of the building. Immediately to the west is a small cemetery, with graves going back to 1871. The building was extended in 1883 and 1930; it is now listed on the (now-defunct) [[Register of the National Estate]].<ref>The Heritage of Australia, Macmillan Company, 1981, p.2/34</ref> The cemetery is listed by the National Trust and is known as the Pioneer's Memorial Reserve.
Artarmon is recognised as the suburb that housed the first [[IKEA]] store in Australia, opening in 1975, moving shortly after to nearby suburb Gordon. Both outlets have long gone, replaced with developments in other Sydney suburbs of Blacktown and most recently Rhodes.

A sandstone church in the Gothic style, it features a small belfry flanking the eastern front of the building. Immediately to the west is a small cemetery, with graves going back to 1871. The building was extended in 1883 and 1930; it is now listed on the (now-defunct) Register of the National Estate.[4] The cemetery is listed by the National Trust and is known as the Pioneer's Memorial Reserve.
