The City of Henley and Grange was a local government area in South Australia from 1915 to 1997, seated at the Adelaide seaside suburb of Henley Beach.
At the time of its establishment, it comprised four wards, each spanning the width of the local government area. From north to south they were: Grange, Kirkaldy, Henley and South Henley.
History
On 2 December 1915, the seaside communities of Henley Beach and Grange in the District Council of Woodville and West Beach in the District Council of West Torrens seceded to form the Municipality of Henley and Grange.[1]
In 1997, Henley and Grange council was amalgamated with the City of Hindmarsh Woodville to form the present-day City of Charles Sturt. The old Henley Civic Centre on the corner of North Street and Seaview Road, Henley Beach, now houses the Henley Beach Library branch of the Charles Sturt Library Service.
