The District Council of Hindmarsh was a local government area in South Australia from 1853 to 1875, seated at the inner north west Adelaide suburb of Hindmarsh.
At the time of its establishment the population was approximately 3,500.
History
The council was proclaimed on 2 June 1853 on the same day as East Torrens and Onkaparinga councils. Local government had only been introduced in South Australia in 1852, and only the City of Adelaide (1852) and District Council of Mitcham (12 May 1853) had been created earlier.
The council was named, like its seat, after South Australia's first governor, John Hindmarsh, who was the first owner and subdivider of section 353, Hundred of Yatala, the triangle of land having contiguous boundaries with both the historic and present suburb of Hindmarsh, south of Port Road. The inaugural councillors were Thomas Magarey, James Gibson, John Ready, John Packham, and Robert R. Torrens.
In 1874 the Corporate Town of Hindmarsh seceded from the district council, leading to the effective end of the latter in the same form. The remainder of Hindmarsh district council moved its seat to Woodville and was renamed to be the District Council of Woodville in 1875.
