The City of Port Adelaide Enfield (PAE),[4] located across inner north and north-western suburbs of Adelaide, is one of the largest metropolitan councils within South Australia.

Extending from the River Torrens to Outer Harbor, and covering an area of approximately 97 km2, Port Adelaide Enfield contains some of South Australia's finest historical buildings and landmarks.

As of March 2024[update], the current mayor is Claire Boan,[4] who was elected in 2018.

[7] From 1884 to 1900 five adjacent district councils were amalgamated with the Corporate Town of Port Adelaide, dramatically increasing its size.

In 1944 Enfield District Council became a municipality and in 1953, thanks to the post-war boom in population, it was upgraded to city status.
