Thornton is a suburb in the City of Maitland, New South Wales, Australia. It has a station (opened in 1871[1]) on CityRail's Hunter line. It is about 1km north of the New England Highway.
Post code 2322, including Thornton, Beresfield, Tarro and Hexham, had a population of 14,654 in 2001.[2]
A new industrial estate and increased residential subdivisions have resulted in the RTA planning a major upgrade to the Weakleys Drive intersection, which was completed as of December 2008. DBT (Australia) opened their new complex here in December 2006.
It was built on top of a swamp.
