The City of Adelaide is a local government area in the metropolitan area of Adelaide, South Australia. It covers the original Adelaide city centre settlement, (also known as the city, the ''square mile'' and (inaccurately) the CBD), North Adelaide, and the Adelaide Park Lands which surround North Adelaide and the city centre. Established in 1840, the organisation now known as the Adelaide City Council (ACC) is the oldest municipal authority in Australia. At its time of establishment, Adelaide's (and Australia's) first mayor, James Hurtle Fisher, was elected. From 1919 onwards, the municipality has had a Lord Mayor, the current being Martin Haese who replaced Stephen Yarwood in 2014. ==History== (詳細はhome page ), City of Adelaide website〕〔(History ), City of Adelaide〕〔(Lord Mayors & Mayors ), City of Adelaide〕〔Books mentioned on the City of Adelaide history webpages: (Those Turbulent Years. A History of the City of Adelaide 1929–1979 ), (Pubs, pews and powerbrokers ), (The City of Adelaide - A Thematic History )〕〔A Thematic History, pp81-82.〕 However, ''The city's relationship with the state and federal government has been described as being 'a continually abrasive relationship'.''〔Morton, ''After Light'' p. 10 :''The city's relationship with the state and federal government has been described as being 'a continually abrasive relationship'. Until 1877 the relationship with the colonial government was described as 'a grudging tolerance, breaking out occasionally into active resentment whenever the council felt its rights were being infringed'. Moreover, matters such as alienation of the Park Lands by the state government, and threats to do so by the federal government, together with the fact that the federal and state government were exempt from rates for the many city buildings they owned, did nothing to enhance the relationship between them and the city corporation.''〕 The Council started in 1840 with nineteen members, who chose four of their number to be Aldermen, and then one of these (James Hurtle Fisher) to be Mayor. In 1852 the municipality was divided into four wards. Three Councillors and one Alderman were chosen, who in turn selected the Mayor. In 1861 the Mayor was chosen by all the electors and the position of Alderman was temporarily abolished. In 1873 the municipality was divided into six Wards, each represented by two Councillors. In 1880 the office of Alderman was recreated; they were chosen by electors of all Wards. The office of Mayor was raised to the stature of Lord Mayor by Royal Letters Patent in 1919. The Lord Mayor received the right to be styled ‘The Right Honourable’ in 1927.〔〔 The Arms of the City of Adelaide were granted by the Heralds College in 1929.〔 In 1982 the Council approved the design of the Armorial Flag.〔 In 2015, the Council became the first government of any kind in Australia to offer a financial incentive for installing battery systems. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「City of Adelaide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
