The City of Playford is a local government area of South Australia in Adelaide's northern suburbs. The name 'Playford' comes from the recognition of Sir Thomas Playford, who played a part in the development of the area, and was South Australia's premier from 1938-1965. The City covers an area of 346 km2, and is home to 85,000 residents. Playford is the fastest growing local government area in South Australia.〔http://www.playford.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=1342〕〔http://www.playford.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=1341〕〔http://www.theaustralian.com.au/executive-living/home-design/regional-cities-going-for-growth/story-fn6njxlr-1226073094262〕〔http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/messenger/north-northeast/playford-council-is-fasted-growing-district-in-adelaide-according-to-new-abs-figures/story-fni9ll1r-1226876688965〕 ==Origins==
The city was formed in 1997 through the merger of the ''City of Elizabeth'' and the ''City of Munno Para'', which were formed in 1955 and 1988, respectively. (The City of Munno Para had previously been the ''District Council of Munno Para'', originally established in 1853.)〔(History of Playford ), playford.sa.gov.au〕 Prior to the 1950s, most of the area surrounding today's suburbs of Munno Para and Elizabeth were farming estates. After the end of the Second World War and the accompanying shortage of materials, the state government decided that South Australia needed to grow and become an industrialized state. A "satellite city" was planned for the Elizabeth area, and the South Australian Housing Trust initiated a housing development programme in the area, with a purchase of of land. The City of Elizabeth was formed on 16 November 1955, being named after Queen Elizabeth II, who visited the city in 1963.
