District Council of Glanville

The District Council of Glanville was a local government area in South Australia centred on the suburb of Glanville. It was established on 14 July 1864, cancelled, and then re-proclaimed on 11 August. Although debates were held over the years regarding construction of a permanent council chambers or hall, the council used chambers in the Thornton Hotel until its end.[1][2] In 1881, councillors were elected from three wards: North Glanville, South Glanville, and Davenport.[3] Much of the district and the adjacent District Council of Lefevre's Peninsula was severed on 20 December 1883 as the new Corporate Town of Semaphore. The new boundaries limited the viability of the council, and the Semaphore council debated as early as January 1884 whether the Glanville council had become defunct as a result of the changes. However, it remained in existence until 5 January 1888, when the remaining portions were merged into the District Council of Woodville as its Davenport Ward following their forced amalgamation by the District Councils Act 1887.[4][5][6]
