Bagdad is a small town 37 kilometres (23 mi) north of Hobart, Tasmania.

In the days of the horse and buggy, Bagdad was an important rest area and horse-changing place for those continuing their journey up Constitution Hill.

The town was named by the explorer Hugh Germain, a private in the Royal Marines.

[3] In April 2003, during the early part of the Iraq war, the town's website was bombarded by confused internet users from around the world trying to contact Iraqis.

[1] The age distribution of Bagdad residents is comparable to that of the greater Australian population.
