Elizabeth is an outer northern suburb of the Adelaide metropolitan area, South Australia, 24 km north of the Adelaide city centre. It is located in the City of Playford. At the 2016 census, Elizabeth had a population of 1,024.
Established in 1955, it was the seat of the former local government body, the The old City of Elizabeth, which included Elizabeth as well as the immediately adjacent suburbs on all sides except the west. Although the City of Elizabeth no longer exists, having been amalgamated into the much larger City of Playford in 1997, the term 'Elizabeth', in the context of Adelaide, typically refers to the historic municipality and the distinct community therein.
Before the 1950s, most of the area surrounding today's suburb of Elizabeth was farming land. After the end of the Second World War with its shortage of materials, the state government decided that South Australia needed to grow and become industrialised. A satellite city was planned for northern metropolitan fringe of Adelaide between the existing townships of Salisbury and Smithfield. The South Australian Housing Trust initiated a housing development program in the area, with a purchase of 1,200 hectares (3,000 acres) at the site of the present suburb.
The township (now suburb) of Elizabeth was established on 16 November 1955, being named after Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia. In 1964, a new local government body, the municipality of Elizabeth, later called City of Elizabeth, was created by severance from the District Council of Salisbury. This allowed the local government to be focused explicitly on the newly-developed land and distinct local growing community centred at Elizabeth.

You're welcome Karilyn. The full episode drops this coming Friday. Thank you for watching it. Elizabeth's history is rich and nuanced. Hopefully I've managed to capture some of that.

Cuz, wait for the full video. I thought a lot about how I wanted to bring this series home. It's been a real full circle journey for me. Helped me understand a lot about what happened, and even my own little piece of it. I feel a sense of closure with it, which I hope others may do, also. And now there will be a pretty comprehensive history all in one place for future generations.

Wonderful documentation of recent history. thank you Will. I have mentioned before that Soccer was a fundamental social component to shaping of Elizabeth and Adelaide. My father played for both (so no bias there then! :), in the early 70's. I would love to see any content on the role of sport, soccer in particular, added to your important work. All the best and much appreciated, best thing on the RU-vids :).

I lived through, and still live in, the period and place described... We have not yet become a ghost town, but I fear it will happen eventually. Holdens loss was a blow that will never be recovered from

It wont become a ghost town with the shortage of affordable housing. Not at the rate they're importing turd world subhumans.

Nothing lasts forever, either boom times or depression. At some point things will turn around. We'll need visionary leaders again for that to happen, however.

Hi Will, it's such a pity it ended like that it could have been so much better if the people in charge knew what they were doing.😪

Are you from SA originally? I ask because your pronunciation of Mallala is different to how most people say it.

I am. Grew up in Smithfield Plains. I was the first Aussie in my family, however. My mother, older siblings and cousins were all born in England and Ireland, my dad, uncle and aunty were from Northern Ireland. I guess that led to some kind of hybrid accent of sorts.
