      History


      North Haven originally started as a private sub-division in Section 769 in the cadastral unit of Hundred of Port Adelaide. Its creation in 1976 was originally opposed by the Postmaster General of Australia due to "size & duplication of name else in Australia". Its boundaries have been altered as follows: Since 1976 – the boundary with the suburb of Outer Harbour, addition of land from the suburb of Osborne and other 'unnamed land', and the addition of a 'portion of the Harbour' in February 2007.


      Facilities


      The suburb is served by a retirement village on Military Road, a small shopping centre on Osborne Road. That has some retail stores and is home to a supermarket, a chemist and a bakery as well as other restaurants and businesses. The western coastal side of the suburb contains Surf Lifesaving Club and the Gulf Point Marina, which is home to a sailing community. The marina, lined with houses, is protected by two artificial breakwaters. Attached to the marina is the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia.
      The local cricket club is the North Haven Cricket Club which fields several teams in Adelaide and Suburban Cricket Association.


      Education


      North Haven is also home to a local Primary School (North Haven School R-7) and a Kindergarten (North Haven Kindergarten). North Haven does not have a high school, with the closest, Ocean View College B-12, being in the nearby suburb of Taperoo.


      Transport


      The 330 bus services both Lady Gowrie and Osborne Roads, and Osborne and Victoria Roads. The Outer Harbor railway line terminates at Outer Harbor railway station. The suburb is serviced by two more train stations: North Haven railway station and Osborne railway station.
