The original Camperdown Turf Club began in late 1866, forming as the Amateur Turf Club and holding its first meeting on New Year's Day 1867, under the auspices of the Hampden Racing Club.

The venue for that first race meeting, now the site of the Camperdown racecourse, was then part of the township common.
