175th Anniversary of the City of AdelaidePrint Page 
One hundred and seventy five "City of Adelaide" roses were planted to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the City of Adelaide.
The South Australian Colonisation Act 1834 (UK) provided for the operation of local government in the colony and the Municipal Corporation Act 1840, passed by Governor Gawler made Adelaide the second oldest city in the British Commonwealth, outside Britain herself. Only Toronto, Canada, established in 1834 is an older local government. The first elections for the Adelaide City Corporation were held in 1840 and James Fisher was elected Mayor.
