Tusmore is a suburb in the inner east of Adelaide, South Australia.
In 1839, a pastoralist William Rogers, settled in the area and named his land Tusmore after his birthplace in Oxfordshire, England.
In 1911 the area roughly corresponding to modern-day Tusmore, known as Section 291, was owned by the Colonial Board of Advice of the South Australian Company. In that year the Board subdivided the land, and several streets in Tusmore are named after board members from that time: Bakewell, Barr-Smith, Brandreth, Fisher, Kennaway and Stirling. [2]
The Tusmore Post Office was in the Council offices for many years, until a new building erected on the corner plot located diagonally opposite the Portrush Road /Greenhill Road junction in 1951 retained the name, despite being located in Glenside, until 1967. [3] [4] [5]
