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. 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.
