Penfield is a northern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia in the City of Playford. The western part is mostly an industrial area wrapped around the northern sides of RAAF Base Edinburgh and south of the Max Fatchen Expressway. It includes an intermodal freight terminal on the Adelaide-Port Augusta railway line operated by SCT Logistics with a large warehouse and distribution centre operated for Treasury Wine Estates.[1] The eastern part of Penfield is being developed for residential housing.[2]
History
The area was first settled in 1850 by William Penfield. The boundaries have varied several times before the current precise boundaries were set.[3]
The Zoar Bible Christian Church opened in 1855. It was demolished in 1956, but the cemetery remains, near the Max Fatchen Expressway, accessed from Argent Road or the Stuart O'Grady Bikeway.[4]
Penfield Post Office opened around 1856 and closed in 1951.[5]
