Edit Place: Gulf View

Description:

The original plan of the township, prepared by Light, Finniss and Co in 1839, was extended when additional townships were added during the next two decades. These townships included: Willaston in 1848; Gawler East in 1849; Bertha in 1850; Evanston in 1853; Gawler North, Gawler West and Bassett Town in 1857; and Gawler South in 1858. Later smaller subdivisions included the Edith/Blanche Street area in 1873, Gulf View in 1876 and Waltham in 1878. The original Corporation of Gawler established in 1857 had East Terrace as its eastern boundary. At this time, the land to the west was part of the Barossa West District Council. In 1876, an area of land between East Terrace and Crown Street was subdivided by George Warren to form the area now known as Gulf View. This area comprised the southern half of section 6 which was part of the land which had originally been allocated to John Reid in the 1839 Gawler Special Survey. After the 1876 subdivision, a number of residences were built in this area, particularly between 1876- 1920. One of the early residents was Charles Ayling, who had the distinction of being the Clerk of three District Councils at the same time, namely Mudla Wirra South, Munno Para East and Gawler South.
