This is a list of the mayors and lord mayors of the City of Adelaide, a local government area of South Australia.[1]
The first local government in Australia was formed on 31 October 1840 with the election of nineteen councillors to the new Adelaide Corporation, followed by the councillors' election of a mayor. The first mayor was James Hurtle Fisher and the first council meeting was held on 4 November 1840.[2]
