However, the opening of the <a href="/wiki/Main_Suburban_railway_line" title="Main Suburban railway line">Sydney-Parramatta railway line</a> that year, with Ashfield as one of its six original stations, led to a population explosion. In 1872, there were enough residents for the area to be granted a <a href="/wiki/Municipal" class="mw-redirect" title="Municipal">municipal</a> council.
