The southern boundary is formed by Parramatta Road and Broadway. Broadway is a locality around the road of the same name, which is located on the border of Glebe, Chippendale and Ultimo. Glebe's name derives from the fact that the land on which it was developed was a glebe, originally owned by the Anglican Church.
