History

Greenwith was named by Thomas Roberts in 1846, who had been engaged by the South Australian Mining Association to open up mineral sections along the River Torrens. He named his property Greenwith Farm after the mine at which he worked near Truro, Cornwall. The property was later owned by John Garfield Tilley. Greenwith Cottage is still open today as a historical site. [2] It retains the pronunciation from Greenwith in Cornwall as "green-with".

In 1973 the South Australian Land Commission started to acquire land in the Golden Grove area for housing. In 1983 the South Australian Urban Land Trust contracted Delfin to develop the land. Construction started in 1985. [ citation needed ]

In April 2017, following a community consultation, The City of Tea Tree Gully renamed their section of the Salisbury Heights suburb to "Greenwith", increasing the suburb by 20%. [3]
