In June 2020, Adelaide had an estimated resident population of 1.3 million. 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 extends 20 km from the coast to the foothills, and 90 km from [[Gawler]] at its northern extent to [[Sellicks Beach]] in the south.

== History ==
Founded in 1836 by [[Colonel William Light]], Adelaide was named in honour of [[Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen]], queen consort to King [[William IV]]. The city was designed by Light with a grid layout, interspaced by wide boulevards and large public squares, and entirely surrounded by parklands. This design, now known as the [[Light's Vision]], has meant that the initial layout of Adelaide has largely been retained.

== Economy ==
Adelaide's economy is primarily based on [[manufacturing]], [[technology]], and [[research and development]]. The city has been involved in various industries including automotive (until the closure of the [[Holden]] plant in 2017), defence technology, and electronics. It is also a hub for wine production and exports, particularly from the nearby [[Barossa Valley]], [[Clare Valley]], and [[McLaren Vale]] regions.

== Culture ==
Adelaide is known for its festivals and sporting events, including the [[Adelaide Festival]], the [[Adelaide Fringe Festival]], and the [[Tour Down Under]]. The city is also home to a number of museums and galleries, such as the [[Art Gallery of South Australia]] and the [[South Australian Museum]]. Adelaide's music and arts scene has produced several internationally known artists and bands.

== Education ==
The city is a centre for education and research, hosting three public universities: the [[University of Adelaide]], the [[University of South Australia]], and [[Flinders University]]. These institutions are complemented by a range of other tertiary education facilities, making Adelaide a vibrant student city.

== Geography ==
Adelaide is located on a plain between the Gulf St Vincent and the Mount Lofty Ranges. The city itself has a number of parks and gardens that are interspersed throughout the city, with the Adelaide Park Lands surrounding the city centre. The [[River Torrens]] runs through the city from the Adelaide Hills to the sea.

== Demographics ==
Adelaide is a multicultural city, with a significant immigrant population. The city's residents come from a wide variety of cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, contributing to Adelaide's diverse food, culture, and community events.

== Transport ==
The city has a comprehensive public transport system, including buses, trams, and trains, managed by the [[Adelaide Metro]]. Adelaide is also served by the [[Adelaide Airport]], which provides domestic and international flights.

== Governance ==
Adelaide is governed at the local level by the [[City of Adelaide]] and several other municipal councils. The city is represented at the state level by the South Australian Government and at the federal level by the Australian Government.

== Climate ==
Adelaide has a [[Mediterranean climate]], with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. This climate supports the wine and agriculture industries surrounding the city.
