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.
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.[6] From 1884 to 1900 five adjacent district councils were amalgamated with the Corporate Town of Port Adelaide, dramatically increasing its size.[6] In 1901 Port Adelaide was proclaimed a city by Governor Tennyson.[6]
Centred around the township of Enfield, the District Council of Yatala south was formed in 1868 when the District Council of Yatala was divided in two. Dry Creek and the Dry Creek-Port Adelaide railway line formed the new council's northern boundary.[7] In 1933, Yatala South was renamed to be Enfield council. In 1944 Enfield district council became a municipality and in 1953, thanks to the post-war boom in population, it was upgraded to city status.[6]
