North Adelaide is a predominantly residential precinct and suburb of the City of Adelaide in South Australia, situated north of the River Torrens and within the Adelaide Park Lands.

History

Surveyor-General Colonel William Light of the colony of South Australia completed the survey for the capital city of Adelaide by 10 March 1837. The survey included 1,042 acres (4.22 km²), including 342 acres (1.38 km²) north of the River Torrens. This surveyed land north of the river became North Adelaide.^[2][3]

North Adelaide was the birthplace of William Lawrence Bragg, co-recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915.

It contains many heritage-listed buildings, including the North Adelaide Post Office.^[4]

Norwood is a suburb of Adelaide, about 4 km (2.5 mi) east of the Adelaide city centre. The suburb is in the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters, whose predecessor was the oldest South Australian local government municipality.

History

Before British colonisation of South Australia and subsequent European settlement, Norwood was inhabited by one of the groups who later collectively became known as the Kaurna peoples.^[2][3]

Early settler Edward Stephens, who arrived in the colony in 1839, wrote: “Norwood and Kent Town were unknown then. The site of the present Norwood was then a magnificent gum forest, with an undergrowth of kangaroo grass, too high in places for a man to see over; in fact persons lost their way in going from Adelaide to Kensington in those days, through attempting a short or near cut across the country”.^[4]

Norwood is named after Norwood, then a village south of London. The new village east of Adelaide was first laid out in 1847.^[5] The former City of Kensington and Norwood was the first outside of the City of Adelaide to receive the right to set up their own municipal corporation. The charter of the town was given on 7 July 1853 by the Governor, Sir Henry Young.^[6]

Glynde is a suburb of Adelaide in the City of Norwood Payneham St Peters.

It was laid out in 1856 by Edward Castres Gwynne, whose father had been the rector of the Sussex village of Glynde; he also named the adjacent suburb of Firle. He owned a large estate near the village, where he had an orangery covering eight acres. The Duke of Edinburgh reportedly once visited Gwynne’s estate to find the family away from home.^[2][3]

The historic Glynde House is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.^[4]
