The Town of Hindmarsh was a local government area in South Australia from 1874 to 1993, encompassing on the inner north west Adelaide suburbs of Hindmarsh, Bowden and Brompton.
The Corporation of the Town of Hindmarsh was proclaimed on 1 October 1874 [1] by the severance of the "townships of Hindmarsh, Bowden and Brompton" from the District Council of Hindmarsh. Benjamin Taylor was proclaimed the inaugural mayor, with the councillors of Hindmarsh, Bowden and Brompton wards being proclaimed, respectively, as Carl Ferdinand Trapmann and Josiah Mitton, Ephraim Gould and Richard Hayley, and Henry Betteridge and William Shearing.
Apart from Hindmarsh, Bowden and Brompton, the town boundaries also included the townships of Croydon and Ridleyton and the land occupied by the modern suburbs of West Hindmarsh, Renown Park, and the portion of modern Ovingham west of the Gawler railway line.
In 1875, the remainder of the older District Council of Hindmarsh moved its seat from Hindmarsh to Woodville and changed its name to District Council of Woodville, distinguishing it from the Corporate Town of Hindmarsh for more than a century until the two bodies were merged again as the City of Hindmarsh and Woodville in 1993.
