Early years

The council was formed in 1933 by the amalgamation of the District Council of Munno Para East and a major central portion of the District Council of Munno Para West.[1][2] The council bounds approximated an area known as the northern Para Plains, so called due to the proximity of the North Para, South Para and Little Para rivers.

1950s to 1997

Prior to the 1950s, most of the area surrounding the township of Smithfield was farming estates. In the post-war boom the Adelaide satellite city of Elizabeth was established about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the Munno Para township, boosting the population and urbanising the latter.[1]

In 1988, the District Council of Munno Para was renamed to City of Munno Para.

In 1997 the City of Munno Para merged with the City of Elizabeth to form the new City of Playford.[1]

gollark: At some point you probably have to decide that some issues aren't really realistic or useful to consider, such as "what if there are significant backdoors in every consumer x86 CPU".
gollark: Presumably most of the data on the actual network links is encrypted. If you control the hardware you can read the keys out of memory or something (or the decrypted data, I suppose), but it's at least significantly harder and probably more detectable than copying cleartext traffic.
