The name "Glebe" means benefices of a minister. 1789
chaplain Richard Johnson and his wife Mary got assigned 125 hectares
of land by Governor Phillip.
Along the streets - many of them lead down to the harbour - still
stand more or less well preserved terraced houses.

At
the harbourfront of the Glebe Point Road the mansions of the rich
were built in the 19th century, while the working class houses rather
stand near the Parramatta Road. The population is still as multifaceted
as in the past.
A
great number of restaurants, cafes, and pubs provide a buzz of activity in
Glebe. Every Saturday the Glebe Market takes place here. You can
find things from new age articles to second hand goods, jewellery,
knickknackery and everything for true gourmets here and in the nearby
shops.
