The City of Enfield (formerly District Council of Yatala South) was a local government area of South Australia from 1868 to 1996. It was known as Yatala South up until 1933, which was named for its local government area predecessor, the District Council of Yatala, and known as Enfield thereafter.
The seat of the City of Enfield was the township of Enfield, approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) north of the Adelaide central business district, named after Enfield Town in the London borough of same name.[3] In 1868, the council area ranged approximately from Dry Creek in the north to the River Torrens in the south east and Torrens Road (unrelated to the river) in the south west.
