History

Guildford was gazetted as a locality in 1974. It was a railway station and junction on the Emu Bay Railway in West Coast Tasmania. It was an important junction to the Waratah Branch (Mount Bischoff) railway, and in turn a connection to the 2 ft gauge Magnet Tramway (Operating 1901 to 1910s). The station and associated buildings no longer exist.

Geography

The Arthur River forms part of the western boundary. The Hellyer River rises in the south of the locality and flows through to the north.

Road infrastructure

The Murchison Highway (Route A10) passes through from north-west to south. Route B18 (Ridgley Highway) starts at an intersection with A10 and runs north-east until it exits. Route B23 (Waratah Road) starts at an intersection with A10 and runs south-west until it exits. Route C132 (Belvoir Road) passes through the south-east corner of the locality.
