City Of Woodville
The City of Woodville was a local government area in South Australia from 1875 to 1993, seated at the inner north west Adelaide suburb of Woodville. History The District Council of Hindmarsh, covering the north west suburbs of Adelaide, had been established since 1853, providing local government to land that was to be Woodville council. In 1874 the most populous parts of the district council successfully lobbied to secede and formed the Town of Hindmarsh adjacent to the Adelaide parklands. The remainder, still called District Council of Hindmarsh, formed the boundaries of what would one day be the City of Woodville. Late in the following year on 30 December 1875, at the request of ratepayers in order to distinguish itself from the newer corporate town, the name was changed to District Council of Woodville by state government proclamation. The council offices relocated from Port Road to the present-day City of Charles Sturt civic centre on Woodville Road at Woodville in 190 ...

Former Local Government Areas Of South Australia
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the ad ...

Fort Glanville
Fort Glanville Conservation Park is a protected area located in the Australian state of South Australia located in Semaphore Park, a seaside suburb of Adelaide consisting of a functional 19th century fort listed on the South Australian Heritage Register and some adjoining land used as a caravan park.

Robinson on 5 January 1888. The legislation introduced local government to many areas of South Australia in which it had not previously existed, especially in the north and west of the state, and involved substantial change to many existing municipalities.
