History of Walkerville

The Corporation of the Town of Walkerville (or Town of Walkerville) is a small local government area in the central suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia.

The residents of the Town of Walkerville are represented by a mayor and eight councillors. The area is home to the highest concentration of top earners in South Australia, and was named "South Australia's richest postcode" in 2016.

The District Council of Walkerville was first proclaimed on 5 July 1855, severing the area from the District Council of Yatala after a petition by local residents proclaimed a desire to break away from the larger District Council of Yatala (proclaimed in 1853). Initially, only the suburbs of Walkerville and Gilberton seceded from Yatala but within a few months, Medindie and North Walkerville (now part of Walkerville proper, east of Fuller Street) were annexed by Walkerville. The district boundaries remained unchanged until 1970 when Vale Park was annexed from the City of Enfield.

Early council meetings were held in a room at the local pub, the Sussex Arms. In 1893 the council seat moved across Stephen Terrace to the present location by the Walkerville Town Hall on Walkerville Terrace, Gilberton.

It was granted corporate town status on 1 October 1944, becoming the Town of Walkerville.

VALE HOUSE

Built in the first 5 years of white settlement in South Australia, Vale House was occupied by several noted colonists including Captain Edward Frome and William Clark. In 1853 it was purchased by Philip Levi, well known influential businessman and pastoralist. During the following 96 years of ownership by the Levi family, Vale House became a popular centre of social activity for the Adelaide gentry. In 1999, after extensive research Vale House was restored and reformed into four separate self-contained luxury Apartments, featuring a gallery of early artworks of colonial Adelaide and a more detailed history of the house.
