City of Charles Sturt

File:Hindmarsh District Council 1853.png in relation to the Hundred of Yatala in 1853. The area is very similar to the boundaries of the present-day City of Charles Sturt, with the exception of the north-west coastal strip that was once the District Council of Glanville.]]

The first local government to be established in the area was the District Council of Hindmarsh (established in 1853),{{cite journal |title=Proclamations - District of Hindmarsh |journal=South Australian Government Gazette |publisher=Government of South Australia |date=2 June 1853 |url=http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/other/sa_gazette/1853/22.pdf |volume=1853 |edition=22 |pages=357–358 |access-date=28 July 2017}} covering the north west suburbs of Adelaide south of the port and north of the Torrens. The boundaries of the Hindmarsh district council were remarkably similar to the boundaries of the City of Charles Sturt, but the intervening years from 1874 to 1997 saw several divisions and amalgamations in the original council area, leading to the current boundaries.

In 1874 the Town of Hindmarsh seceded from the original district council, the latter changing its name to District Council of Woodville a year later.{{cite journal |url=http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/other/sa_gazette/1875/54.pdf |journal=South Australian Government Gazette |title=District of Woodville. |date=30 December 1875 |volume=1875 |edition=54 |page=2386 |access-date=31 July 2017}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.lga.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/LGA-89938_-_2011_18_-_FINAL_History_of_SA_Councils.pdf |publisher=Local Government Association of South Australia |title=A History of South Australian Councils to 1936 |first=Susan |last=Marsden |date=2012 |page=18 |access-date=31 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160317082016/https://www.lga.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/LGA-89938_-_2011_18_-_FINAL_History_of_SA_Councils.pdf |archive-date=17 March 2016 |url-status=dead }} The Town of Hindmarsh included the near-city communities of Hindmarsh, Bowden, Brompton, Croydon and what would become Renown Park. The District Council of Woodville ultimately came to be seated at the present-day civic centre on Woodville Road at Woodville.

As part of the District Councils Act 1887 consolidation of local government in the state, the rump of the District Council of Glanville was amalgamated into Woodville council as the Davenport ward in 1888. This closely following the creation of the Town of Semaphore which removed a significantly-populated portion of Glanville. This now meant that the Woodville council's western boundary was the coastline from the Torrens to Fort Glanville.

In December 1915, the seaside communities of Henley Beach and Grange seceded from Woodville council (along with the West Beach area of West Torrens council) to form the Municipality of Henley and Grange{{cite journal |url=http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/other/sa_gazette/1915/49.pdf |journal=South Australian Government Gazette |volume=1915 |edition=49 |page=1519 |title=Municipality of Henley and Grange. |date=2 December 1915 |publisher=Government of South Australia |access-date=31 July 2017}}

The Woodville and Hindmarsh councils were reunited in 1993 as the City of Hindmarsh Woodville, and, four years later, the City of Henley and Grange was also reunited to form the present boundaries as the City of Charles Sturt.
