Port Adelaide, South Australia
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Port Adelaide ( 34°50'S, 138°30'E) is a suburb of Adelaide lying about 14 kilometres northwest of the City of Adelaide. It lies within the City of Port Adelaide Enfield and, as the name suggests, it is the main port for the city of Adelaide. Today, some twenty operational wharves handle much of South Australia's export produce: wines, motor vehicles, grains, ores and concentrates. It was often the first place migrants lived upon arrival in Adelaide. Port Adelaide is a very old suburb of Adelaide. It was officially proclaimed as a harbour in 1837. Its original name, Port Misery, is said to have been adopted because it was a mosquito-infested swamp when the first settlers landed at Port Adelaide. It has also been suggested the name described the unsatisfactory handling of goods at the site. In 1839, the name was changed to Port Adelaide. Today, it still maintains the port working-class feel but it is slowly becoming gentrified, especially along the Port River. In 1853, Port Adelaide was the destination of the maiden voyage of the famous Dutch clipper California, carrying some hundred English immigrants who arrived in what was considered record time for the period. The suburb has many old colonial buildings, such as the Port Adelaide Uniting Church, primarily near the wharves (St Vincent Street, Lipson Street and Divett Street), that have been placed under State heritage listing. Port Adelaide is also home to the most successful Australian rules football team in the SANFL, the Port Adelaide Football Club. The Port Adelaide Magpies play in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) and since the league's inception in 1870, the club has won 36 SANFL premierships. In 1997, the Port Adelaide Power were admitted to play in the Australian Football League. The Power won the premiership in 2004.
