CITY OF ADELAIDE

The 'City of Adelaide' is a local government area of South Australia covering the original Adelaide settlement. Established in 1840, the 'Adelaide City Council' is the oldest municipal authority in Australia. At its time of establishment Adelaide's (and Australia's) first mayor, James Hurtle Fisher, was elected. From 1919 onwards, the City has had a Lord Mayor, the current being Lord Mayor Michael Harbison.
In its local administrative capacity, the City of Adelaide has responsibility for two areas analogous to suburbs: Adelaide (city centre) (also known as South Adelaide, the city, the CBD, or the ''square mile'') and North Adelaide. The city council is also responsible for the Adelaide Parklands which surrounds North Adelaide and the city centre.
