About Henley Beach, SA

Henley Beach is a coastal suburb of Adelaide, South Australia in the City of Charles Sturt. == History == Henley Beach was named for the English town of Henley-on-Thames, the home town of Sir Charles Cooper, South Australia's first judge. Cooper had a residence in the area adjacent Charles Sturt's property "The Grange", for which Grange Beach was named. It has been asserted that Sturt's suggestion of "Cooper's Beach" was rejected by Cooper, who gave it the current name.The Town of Henley Beach was promoted in the South Australian Register in 1860 as being "free from all the noxious smells which have been cause of complaint elsewhere". The Register again advertised the township in 1874: While admitted to be one of the finest in the colony, [it] has been somewhat neglected owing to the road not being made. The District Council and private enterprise, however, have overcome this... == Geography == Henley Beach lies between the suburbs of West Beach and Grange. == Demographics == The 2006 Census by the Australian Bureau of Statistics counted 5,405 persons in Henley Beach on census night.
