| Description : |
Report from the Nomenclature Committee regarding changing South Australian place names of 'enemy origin'. During the First World War, anti-German sentiment led the South Australian Government to decide to change South Australian place names of 'enemy origin'. The Nomenclature Committee was established to consider the re-naming issue and to suggest new names, preferably having origins in Aboriginal languages. This report from the Committee includes a list of German names to be changed with suggestions for new names. |
