Hundred Of Noarlunga
The Hundred of Noarlunga is a cadastral unit of hundred in South Australia covering the far south-western Adelaide metropolitan area south and west of the Sturt River and north and west of the Onkaparinga River. It is one of the eleven hundreds of the County of Adelaide stretching from Glenelg in the northwest to Port Noarlunga in the southwest; and spanning inland between the Sturt and Onkaparinga to Bridgewater in the Adelaide foothills. It was named in 1846 by Governor Frederick Robe, Noarlunga being likely derived from 'nurlongga', an indigenous word referring to the curvature in the Onkaparinga River at Old Noarlunga, dubbed Horseshoe Bend by European settlers. Etymology Contemporary Australian linguists believe the name "Noarlunga" is derived from the Kaurna ''nurlo'' (corner/curve/bend) + ''ngga'' (place). Early South Australian Christian missionaries, Christian Teichelmann and Clamor Schürmann, recorded this meaning of the word in 1840, among about 2000 translations ...

Old Noarlunga, South Australia
Old Noarlunga (formerly Noarlunga) is a suburb in the Australian state of South Australia located about south of the state capital of Adelaide. Originally settled around 1840, the town retains its village atmosphere in spite of encroaching suburbia.

The town still has a stone bridge across the Onkaparinga, making the town a focal point for travel further down the coast.

City Of Noarlunga
The City of Noarlunga, formerly the District Council of Noarlunga, was a local government area in South Australia from 1856 until 1997. History The District Council of Noarlunga was established on 21 August 1856 following lobbying by residents at Noarlunga on either side of the Onkaparinga River. The council area was formed from part of the District Council of Willunga on the south bank and part of the District Council of Morphett Vale on the north bank. The remainder of Morphett Vale council was annexed by Noarlunga 75 years later on 12 May 1932 along with part of the District Council of Clarendon. This was as part of the statewide push in the early 1930s to consolidate local government into fewer governing bodies as promulgated in the ''Local Government Areas (Re-arrangement) Acts 1929 and 1931''. On 6 March 1997 the Noarlunga council was amalgamated with the City of Happy Valley and District Council of Willunga to form the City of Happy Valley, Noarlunga and Willunga wh ...
