History

The City of Port Adelaide Enfield was established on 26 March 1996 by the amalgamation of the City of Port Adelaide and the City of Enfield.

Main article: City of Port Adelaide

The council of Port Adelaide was established on 27 December 1855 when Port Adelaide was declared a Corporate Town centred at the port of Adelaide which had been opened some years prior in 1837.[4] From 1884 to 1900 five adjacent district councils were amalgamated with the Corporate Town of Port Adelaide, dramatically increasing its size.[4] In 1901 Port Adelaide was proclaimed a city by Governor Tennyson.[4]

Main article: City of Enfield

Centred around the village of Enfield, the District Council of Enfield was formed in 1933 when the District Council of Yatala South was renamed to Enfield.[5] In April 1944 the District Council of Enfield was upgraded to a municipality and in 1953 to city status.[4]
