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 called 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.[1] 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.
Early years as Yatala South
Yatala South council was established in 1868 when the District Council of Yatala was divided at Dry Creek into the District Councils of Yatala South and Yatala North.[2][3]
In August 1872 the new District Council of Prospect split from Yatala South council.[2][4]
Well over half a century later, Yatala South was renamed to be the District Council of Enfield on 22 June 1933.[3]

1940s to 1996
In April 1944 the District Council of Enfield was upgraded to the Municipality of Enfield and again in January 1953 to be the City of Enfield.[2]
In March 1996 the City of Enfield merged with the much older City of Port Adelaide to form the new City of Port Adelaide Enfield.[2]
