Port Adelaide, Historic port district in Adelaide, Australia
Port Adelaide extends along the Port River, featuring maritime infrastructure, historic warehouses, and residential areas 14 kilometers northwest of Adelaide's center point.
The port settlement began in 1837 under Captain Thomas Lipson as harbourmaster, establishing crucial maritime connections for the new British colony of South Australia.
The Port Adelaide Institute, numerous art galleries, and weekend markets at Fishermen's Wharf represent the district's role in South Australian cultural development.
The area connects to Adelaide's metropolitan transport network through regular train services, with the postal code 5015 serving the entire district.
Port River maintains a permanent population of bottlenose dolphins that swim through the waterways between the historic maritime buildings and modern developments.
