Early history
With the introduction of Electoral Zones for the South Australian Football Association (SAFA) Senior Clubs a well attended meeting of the junior footballers in the East Torrens Electorate arranged by the Norwood Football Club was held at the Norwood Hotel on 7 April 1898. It was decided at the meeting that the Association should consist of six clubs, and that all players must be residents of the East Torrens Electorate. To assist the Association, the Norwood Football Club offered a trophy of to be given to the club gaining the premiership of the Association. In addition, the senior team will also give two footballs to each individual club in the Association, and also will give them balls to practise with. The clubs present forming the Association were the Tusmore, College Park, Eden Park, and Albions whilst it is expected that a team from Payneham will also join.
However, two other clubs joined - Rose Park and Marryatville which both played off of for second place with later being victorious.
On 9 July 1898 the East Torrens Association visited Gawler and were comprehensively defeated by the Gawler Association - 2 behinds to 14 goals 21 behinds.
The Electoral District of East Torrens existed from 1857 to 1902 and again from 1915 to 1938.
