It is the westernmost village in the City of Blue Mountains, located about {{convert|120|km}} by road from the Sydney central business district and at an altitude of about {{convert|1052|m}} {{AHD}}.[7] The settlement had a population of 823 people at the 2011 Census.[8] HistoryMount Victoria is located on an escarpment plateau extension of Mount York, the site of a camp on the original Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson crossing of the Blue Mountains in 1813. The area was originally marked as One Tree Hill on an early map dating from 1834 by the Surveyor General, Sir Thomas Mitchell.[7] This is why when the township was established in 1866 it was known as One Tree Hill.[9] After the road across the Blue Mountains was constructed a toll bar was opened about {{convert|1|km|mi}} east from the present township in 1849 and the area was also known as Broughton's Waterhole Toll Bar.[10] Coaches were charged at the toll according to how well sprung they were, ones without springs were not charged as it was believed they would help crush the road surface.[7] After the railway station, marking the termination of the Main Western railway line, was opened in 1869 the town also became known as Mount Victoria.[10][11] The town's name was officially changed after the first Post Office was built in 1876.[7] By the late 19th century, the town had become a prosperous settlement and many private schools, including The School, Mount Victoria, were founded in the area, which become somewhat of a hill station retreat for wealthy Sydney families.[7] Heritage listingsMount Victoria has a number of heritage-listed sites, including the following sites listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register:
The following site are listed on other heritage registers:
Asgard Swamp coal mineTo the south-east of Mount Victoria lies the Asgard Swamp area, now part of the Blue Mountains National Park. The area is the site of a coal mine that was developed in the nineteenth century, but which was ultimately unsuccessful. Six adits were driven into the coal seam by Walter Mackenzie and Thomas Garret, circa 1881. A coke oven was built and it was also proposed to build a tramline from Mount Victoria, but it is not known if this ever happened. The leases changed hands a few times over the years, but no work was done after 1908.[22] Around the south and east edges of Asgard Swamp, there are the remains of huts used by the people who worked the mines. Mount Victoria cemeteryMount Victoria Cemetery, located one and a half kilometres south-east of the township, was established in 1881. Notable internees include John Berghofer, the builder of Berghofer's Pass at Mount York. (The pass, no longer used for vehicular traffic, has since been included in a network of walking tracks at Mount York. The Mount York area is now heritage-listed.)[23] Other internees include members of the Lanfranchi family, owners of Marthaville, a heritage-listed house on the Great Western Highway.[24] Present dayToday, Mount Victoria is a small township with a large number of historic buildings and a few attractions including the Post Office, a Hall which is used as a cinema, the Imperial Hotel, the Toll Keepers Cottage and a museum at the railway station.[7] The town is the starting point for many bushwalks and features several lookouts over the Kanimbla Valley including the lookout from Mount Piddington.[7] The railway station, along with Lithgow, is the terminus for the Blue Mountains Line. The town is located at the junction of the Great Western Highway and the Darling Causeway to Bell. The Roads and Maritime Services is at present researching a major upgrade to the Great Western Highway with the view to bypass the township and the steep Victoria Pass down to Little Hartley to the west.[25][26] References1. ^{{Census 2016 AUS|id=SSC12797|name=Mount Victoria (State Suburb)|accessdate=24 April 2018|quick=on}} 2. ^1 2 {{NSW GNR|id=anwGZxtLSX |title=Mount Victoria|accessdate=15 April 2009}} 3. ^http://www.altitude.nu/ Elevation at any place. 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_063056.shtml |title=Summary statistics MOUNT VICTORIA (SELSDON STR) |work=Climate statistics for Australian locations |publisher=Bureau of Meteorology |accessdate=15 April 2009}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.elections.nsw.gov.au/state_government_elections/electoral_districts/all_districts_/blue_mountains |title=Blue Mountains |publisher=NSW Electoral Commission |accessdate=15 April 2009}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.aec.gov.au/profiles/m/macquarie.htm |title=Macquarie |publisher=Australian Electoral Commission |accessdate=15 April 2009}} 7. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web |url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/New-South-Wales/Mount-Victoria/2005/02/17/1108500197701.html |title=Mount Victoria - New South Wales |work=The Age |location=Australia |date=8 February 2004 |accessdate=16 April 2009}} 8. ^{{Census 2011 AUS |id=UCL121082 |name=Mount Victoria (L) (Urban Centre/Locality)|accessdate=24 June 2013|quick=on}} 9. ^1 {{Cite book|title = Mount Victoria|last = Isles|first = Ebena|publisher = Mount Victoria & District Historical Society|year = 1988|isbn = |location = Blue Mountains City Library|pages = Preface, 1}} 10. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.about-australia.com/new-south-wales/blue-mountains/destinations/mount-victoria/ |title=Mount Victoria, New South Wales |publisher=About Australia |accessdate=16 April 2009}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.nswrail.net/locations/show.php?name=NSW:Mount+Victoria&line=NSW:main_west:0 |title=Mount Victoria Station |publisher=NSWRail.net |accessdate=16 April 2009}} 12. ^{{cite NSW SHR|5014091|Blue Mountains Walking tracks|hr=00980|fn=H00/00231; EF14/4439|accessdate=18 May 2018}} 13. ^{{cite NSW SHR|5012114|Mount Victoria Railway Station group|hr=01203|accessdate=18 May 2018}} 14. ^{{cite NSW SHR|5062555|Cox's Road and Early Deviations - Mount York, Cox's Pass Precinct|hr=01956|fn=EF14/12820|accessdate=18 May 2018}} 15. ^{{Cite NSW HD|1172077|Mv006: Hotel Imperial|accessdate = 6 February 2015}} 16. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.bluemountainsgazette.com.au/story/5014530/big-plans-for-mt-vic/|title=Big plans for Mt Vic|last=Curtin|first=Jennie|date=2017-10-30|website=Blue Mountains Gazette|language=en|access-date=2019-02-28}} 17. ^{{Cite NSW HD|1170207|Mv007: St Peter's Anglican Church|accessdate = 6 February 2015}} 18. ^{{Cite NSW HD|1170293|Mv008: Toll House|accessdate =6 February 2015}} 19. ^{{Cite NSW HD|1172125|Mv010: Old Vic Post Office Gallery|accessdate = 6 February 2015}} 20. ^{{Cite NSW HD|1170208|Mv013: Gatekeeper's Cottage|accessdate=6 February 2015}} 21. ^{{Cite NSW HD|1172126|Mv014: Mount Victoria Public School|accessdate=6 February 2015}} 22. ^Mount Wilson.com.au 23. ^State Heritage Register 24. ^State Heritage Register 25. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/constructionmaintenance/majorconstructionprojectsregional/greatwesternhighway/mt_victoria_lithgow/index.html |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110406073611/http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/constructionmaintenance/majorconstructionprojectsregional/mt_victoria_lithgow/index.html|archivedate=6 April 2011|title=Mount Victoria to Lithgow - upgrade of the Great Western Highway |publisher=Roads and Traffic Authority |accessdate=15 April 2009}} 26. ^{{cite web|last1=NSW|first1=Roads and Maritime Services,|title=Katoomba to Lithgow – Great Western Highway upgrade|url=http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/projects/western-nsw/katoomba-lithgow/|website=Roads and Maritime Services|accessdate=30 December 2016}} External links{{commons category}}{{commonscat|Asgard Swamp}}
