Below is a supplement that was published in The Sun on May 2 1968 to mark the declaration of Campbelltown as a city on May 2 1968. At the time it was declared a city, it was home to around 19 000 people.
On the same day, the first electric rail service also ran into Campbelltown Station allowing for commuters from the area improved and direct rail services to the Sydney CBD. Travel time would be reduced to around one hour. Initially the trip was via Granville on the Southern Line but the extension of the East Hills Line to connect with the southern line in Glenfield in 1987 would also contribute to further improvements for rail commuters.
