Mile End, South Australia

Mile End was originally established in 1860 as The Town of Mile End by the South Australian Company. It was so named because the township was approximately one mile from the centre of Adelaide. It was also named after Mile End in east London, England, whose name has a similar meaning.^[3] It was part of the then largely rural District of West Torrens until 1883, when the residents of the more urban suburbs of Thebarton, Mile End and Torrensville successfully petitioned to become the Corporation of the Town of Thebarton.^[4] In 1997 the Town of Thebarton re-amalgamated with the City of West Torrens.^[5]

E. M. Bagot and Gabriel Bennett had a large holding of grazing land south of Henley Beach Road,^[6] part of which (the “Thebarton Racecourse” or colloquially the “Butchers’ Course”) was used from 1859 to 1869 by a group of “sporting gentlemen”, later to become the South Australian Jockey Club, to hold their race meetings.^[7]

Mile End railway station, built in 1898, is also one mile from the Adelaide railway station.
