Hyde Park
In Wulgurukaba country, three kilometres southwest of central Townsville, Hyde Park was named after William Clayton's Hyde Park estate. Clayton, a chemist who established the Hyde Park brickworks northwest of the intersection of Bayswater Road and Charters Towers Road in the mid-1880s, seems to have taken the name from London's Hyde Park. Most of the street names come from locations in and around London.
The suburb's eastern boundary (Charters Towers Road) separates it from Hermit Park, while a western boundary along Kings Road separates it from Pimlico. Woolcock Street marks the boundary between Hyde Park and West End. In the south, the continuation of Mindham Park's open space separates Hyde Park from Mysterton.
