Chosen by Captain Light as the most suitable port for the province. He surveyed the road from Adelaide to Port Adelaide in 1837 and reported that a canal could easily be cut to connect the harbour with the River Torrens. Eventually in 1856 a railway was built from the port to the City. Named after Queen Adelaide wife of King William IV.

Location: To the north-west of the Adelaide city area. The electorate is both residential and light industrial.
