City of Enfield
The City of Enfield (formerly District Council of Yatala South) was a local government area of South Australia from 1868 to 1996. It was known as Yatala South up until 1933, which was named for its local government area predecessor, the District Council of Yatala, and known as Enfield thereafter.
The seat of the City of Enfield was the township of Enfield, approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) north of Adelaide's centre. The original township was named after Enfield Town in the London borough of same name. In 1868, the council area ranged approximately from Dry Creek in the north to the Torrens River in the south east and Torrens Road (unrelated to the river) in the south west.
The District Council of Yatala South was established on 18 June 1868 when the District Council of Yatala was divided at Dry Creek, and the Dry Creek branch of the Gawler railway line, into the Yatala South and Yatala North.
In August 1872 the District Council of Prospect was established by severance from Yatala South, reducing the latter in area by about 3 square miles (7.8 km2).
Well over half a century later, Yatala South was renamed to be the District Council of Enfield on 22 June 1933.
In April 1944 the Enfield council was granted municipal status, becoming the Town of Enfield. In January 1953, the population had reached a point where the municipality was granted city status and known thereafter as the City of Enfield. The chairman of the council became the mayor from 1944.
In March 1996 the City of Enfield merged with the much older City of Port Adelaide to form the City of Port Adelaide Enfield.
