Adelaide ( AD-il-ayd; Kaurna: Tarndanya [ˈd̪̥aɳɖaɲa]) is the capital and most populous city of South Australia, as well as the fifth-most populous city in Australia. The name "Adelaide" may refer to either Greater Adelaide (including the Adelaide Hills) or the Adelaide central business district; the demonym Adelaidean is used to denote the city and the residents of Adelaide. The traditional owners of the Adelaide region are the Kaurna, with the name Tarndanya referring to the area of the city centre and surrounding Park Lands, in the Kaurna language. Adelaide is situated on the Adelaide Plains north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, between the Gulf St Vincent in the west and the Mount Lofty Ranges in the east. Its metropolitan area encompasses over 430 suburbs, extending 96 km (60 mi) from Gawler in the north to Sellicks Beach in the south and 20 km (12 mi) from the western coast to the eastern foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges. Named in honour of Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, wife of King William IV, the city was founded in 1836 as the planned capital for a freely settled British colony in Australia. Colonel William Light designed the city centre in a grid layout with wide boulevards and large public squares, surrounded by parks, now listed as national heritage. Colonial Adelaide became known as the "City of Churches" due to its diversity of faiths, being Australia's third-most populous city until the postwar era. Today, Adelaide is a popular travel destination and hosts many festivals and sporting events, such as the Adelaide 500, Tour Down Under, Gather Round, LIV Golf Adelaide, the Adelaide International, the Adelaide Fringe and the Australian MotoGP Grand Prix from 2027. The city also gave rise to Australia's automotive industry, having also hosted the first Australian Grand Prix under the Formula One banner between 1985 and 1995. Adelaide is known for its food and wine industries, its coastline and hills, and defence and manufacturing industries. The city has consistently ranked within the top-ten most liveable cities globally for much of the 21st century. Adelaide is South Australia's government and commercial centre, with activity concentrated in the city's central business district along the boulevards of North Terrace and King William Street. It has also been classed as a Gamma + level global city as categorised by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. Adelaide is connected by significant bus, train and tram networks, operated by Adelaide Metro, with its primary railway terminus at the Adelaide railway station. The city is also served by Adelaide Airport and Port Adelaide.
