Argenton is a suburb of the city of Lake Macquarie
in New South Wales, Australia 16 kilometres (10 mi)
west of the Newcastle's central business district in
Lake Macquarie's West Ward.

Argenton is a small suburb of Lake Macquarie
commonly recognised for its BMX Club, Soccer
Club and longstanding Bakery which under initial
ownership claimed to have the best meat pie in
Australia. With the opening of Glendale
Supercentre within the boundaries of Argenton,
the area has seen rapid growth in visitors
travelling through the suburb. The demolition of
the Pasminco Smelter saw 360 people losing their
employment although it caused much pollution to
the surrounding areas. Much controversy
surrounded the Pasminco and many saw both
positive and negative factors in its closing.
